Σύνοψη	Conditional Geostatistical Simulation — most commonly implemented as Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) — generates multiple stochastic realizations of a spatial random field that are each consistent with observed sample data and with a fitted variogram model. Unlike kriging, which produces a single smoothed estimate, SGS reproduces the full spatial variability of the phenomenon. It is widely used by geoscientists, mining engineers, petroleum engineers, and environmental scientists who need to propagate spatial uncertainty through downstream models.	Cokriging extends kriging to use one or more correlated secondary variables to improve prediction of a primary variable. When the variable of interest is sparsely sampled but a related, cheaper-to-measure variable is densely sampled, cokriging borrows strength from the secondary variable through their cross-correlation, yielding more accurate interpolations and prediction variances than kriging the primary variable alone.	Universal kriging generalizes ordinary kriging to data whose mean varies systematically across space — a spatial trend or 'drift'. It models the mean as a function of the coordinates (or covariates) and krigs the residuals, so it can interpolate variables that drift in a preferred direction, such as temperature falling with latitude or a pollutant gradient, while still returning prediction variances.
