Co-Kriging Estimation

 

 

Using the correlations between 2 variables, Co-Kriging partially estimates one of the 2 variables with the other easily-observed variable. Co-Kriging can hugely increase the estimation accuracy and sampling efficiency. However, practically, Co-Kriging requires a known correlation function, and this has to be done through sampling at multiple locations at the same time in order to measure the correlations between the 2 functions. Based on the joint regionalized variable theory, Co-Kriging can estimate the unsampled regions through establishing the cross covariance and cross variogram model.
