Abstract: Methods and systems for predicting downhole measurement data at the earth surface include predicting a first estimate value of a property of interest using a first processor in a downhole tool using a first predictor and predicting a second estimate value of the property of interest using a second processor of a surface unit and using a second predictor, the second predictor including identical data processing as the first predictor. A measurement value of the property of interest is obtained using a sensor arranged in the downhole tool. The first processor compares the measurement value with the first estimate value and determines if the measurement value is within a predetermined threshold relative to the first estimate value. In response to the measurement value being within the predetermined threshold of the first estimate value, a wellbore operation based on the second estimate value is performed using the second processor.
