Statics Estimation by Stack Optimization of Noisy Data
, by Shuki Ronen
In a previous report (Ronen, 1984) I proposed to estimate surface-consistent time anomalies by stack-optimization, using a straight-ascent method. Because of local extrema of the objective function, it was not clear to what extent noisy data could be handled. Synthetic and field data examples shown here have low signal-to-noise ratio and were handled by the straight-ascent optimization program, with a considerable success.
