Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Residual Wavelets
, by Clement Kostov
The method for maximum likelihood estimation of residual wavelets, presented in the SEP-50 report, is further elaborated in two aspects: (1) comparison between two measures of estimation errors, the variance and the bias, provides guidelines for the number of data to be used in the estimation, (2) estimation fo residual wavelets from seismic data motivate the use of models for statistically dependent input series.
