Figure 9. A simple nomogram approach to moderate a statistical prediction based on limited data. An estimate is made based on global data alone (a), such as the global frequency of stratigraphic trap success, adapted from Binns (2006), and a second estimate is made using only local data (b). The user makes a judgment as to the relative quality of the local data set (c), and the intersection gives an appropriate modified estimate (d).
