RE: AI-GEOSTATS: Conditional Simulation

[Digby Millikan]

Does this bring to question the relevance of the kriging variance?   Digby Millikan:    I was wondering about the technique of simulation. Is the basic method of simulation to generate random estimates using the kriging variance distributions, or is it more complex than this.     Anatoly Saveliev:   Mach more complex since we need both the local variance and the (global) variogram reproduction. So we meed to use some Markov chain approximation with all the grid values as state
