Conditional Geostatistical Simulation

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.
