Claim:
1. A method for evaluating a formation, the method comprising: obtaining a dip angle of the formation; obtaining apparent resistivity values of the formation associated with each of several layers comprising a set of at least three layers; generating a first sub-model of the formation based on the dip angle of the formation; generating a second sub-model of the formation based on a substantially zero dip angle; determining a resistivity correction for a selected one of the layers based on at least one of the apparent resistivity value of the selected layer, a width of the selected layer, the apparent resistivity values in layers of the set located above and below the selected layer in the set within which the apparent resistivity value was obtained, the first sub-model, and the second sub-model; and generating a dip-corrected resistivity value associated with the selected layer based on the resistivity correction.
