Abstract A new and simple method is proposed to obtain estimates of recovery functions: the Bi-Gaussian approach. Existing methods estimate recovery functions with conditional distributions where the conditioning set is all the data available. Here instead the simple kriging estimate of the Gaussian transform is proposed to be used. Results in the point recovery case are identical to the multi-Gaussian approach of Verly (1983, 1984), whereas in the non-point-support situation, an approximation is derived which saves computer time as compared to employing the strict multi-Gaussian hypothesis. Two examples compare favorably with the well-established disjunctive kriging method (discrete Gaussian model).
