ergy (Figure 4.4(b)). Note that this figure shows the prediction <strong>of</strong> the optimum<br />

filter length determined with RMSE2 in Figure 4.1(a). The minimum value for the<br />

RMSE in that example is 6. The prediction for filter length p = 15 is good but the<br />

result is not as good as in the optimum case with p = 6 (Figure 4.5(a)). Noise is<br />

also modeled and incorporated in the predicted data (Figure 4.5(b)). At this point<br />

some inferences are in order. First, it is clear that the filter length is very important<br />

both to model the data and to reject the noise. However, it is not possible to com-<br />

pute RMSE2 for real situations; it can be used to estimate optimum filter length<br />

when working with synthetic examples where one has accessed to data free <strong>of</strong> noise.<br />

Practical experience in seismic data processing shows that one can easily compute<br />

the optimum filter length by trying different lengths and observe the amount <strong>of</strong><br />

coherent energy left in the error panel. At some point one can find a filter length
