Calculation <strong>of</strong> root mean square error<br />

In this section, <strong>the</strong> calculation <strong>of</strong> root mean square error (RMSE) which is used for <strong>the</strong><br />

Monte Carlo Simulation is given. Let <strong>the</strong> true (t) and <strong>the</strong> inverted (i) parameters are<br />

represented <strong>by</strong> vectors x t j and xi j respectively at <strong>the</strong> jth realization. For N number <strong>of</strong> time<br />

samples, each vector has N number <strong>of</strong> elements. Then <strong>the</strong> root mean square error at <strong>the</strong><br />

j th realization, R j x, is defined as<br />

R j x =<br />

Therefore, for n realizations, <strong>the</strong> root mean square error can be calculated using<br />

j=1<br />

From equations (C.2) and (C.3), we can easily see that<br />

¯Rx − σx < RMSEx < ¯ Rx + σx, (C.4)<br />

Note that this calculation is for n realizations at a specific S/N. The x represents an <strong>AVO</strong><br />

parameter; P-wave reflectivity, S-wave reflectivity or density reflectivity.<br />
