Plurigaussian Field Generation
Plurigaussian field simulations (PGS) are used to simulate correlated fields of categorical data, e.g. lithofacies, hydrofacies, soil types, or cementitious materials. PGS uses one spatial random field (SRF) per dimension, e.g. two SRFs, when working with two dimensional data. Furthermore, PGS needs a field, which describes the categorical data and its spatial relations. This might sound more complicated then it is, as we will see in the following examples.
