ABSTRACTIn real-world extraction of signal from data we are not given the needed signal prediction-error filter (PEF). Claerbout has taken S, the PEF of the signal, to be that of the data, . Spitz takes it to be . Where noises are highly predictable in time or space, Spitz gets significantly better results. Theoretically, a reason is that the essential character of a PEF is contained where it is small. |
