A study of ill-conditioning in linear techniques with emphasis on some applications in the earth sciences / R.J. O'Dowd.

Bibliography: leaves 184-192.xiii, 192 leaves : ill. ; 30 cm.Considers the conditioning of some linear least-square methods which are applied in the earth sciences. Most attention is directed towards Wiener filtering, emphasis being placed on seismic deconvolution. Two geostatistical techniques, Ordinary Kriging and Co-kriging, are also considered.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Geology and Geophysics, 199
