Abstract
As an application, we demonstrate a proposed variogram modeling scheme using a spatial data set. Because the scheme relies on a procedure for simultaneously diagonalizing several matrices, we briefly describe the FG and least-squares algorithms. The model obtained by our scheme is used to cokrige the data. In addition, the proposed scheme is compared to more traditional methods.
