Abstract
We study parameter estimation in the linear coregionalization model. Classical statistical methods are not easily tractable and fully efficient for this problem. Two alternative methods are described. One is known in variance component estimation and the other is a least squares heuristic. The two procedures were used on simulations. An agronomical case study is presented.
