5.5 Summary<br />

In this Chapter I have investigated the possibility <strong>of</strong> using nonlinear prediction<br />

for adaptive attenuation <strong>of</strong> multiples, so far with encouraging results. Adaptive<br />

subtraction <strong>of</strong> curved events with synthetic data examples has showed that <strong>Volterra</strong><br />

series contributes removal <strong>of</strong> curved events. On the other hand, real data examples<br />

indicates that this method is not better than usual adaptive subtraction models<br />

based on linear prediction error filtering methods when modeling with small data<br />

windows in the f - x domain. More research, however, is needed to understand the<br />

role played by the nonlinear kernels <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Volterra</strong> expansion. In other words, the<br />

linear part has a very well understood action when written in prediction error form.<br />

It represents a notch filter that attenuates one or more linear events. The second<br />

and third-order kernels must contribute as some sort <strong>of</strong> special ”notch” operators<br />

that can model a continuous distribution <strong>of</strong> wave numbers (variable dip in the t − x<br />

domain).
