Abstract
The matrix form of the general co-kriging problem is presented. Matrix solutions are given for SRFs with covariance functions, for IRFs of order zero using variograms and for universal co-kriging. General methods for obtaining cross-covariance or cross-variogram models are given. The relationship of the general co-kriging problem to the problem of one under sampled variable is presented.
