4.6 Summary<br />

In this chapter, I surveyed modeling methods in the f − x domain. Canales (1984)<br />

method was reviewed and extensions <strong>of</strong> this method to nonlinear problems were<br />

explored.<br />

Events with nonlinear moveouts can be modeled using nonlinear terms <strong>of</strong> a<br />

<strong>Volterra</strong> series. Events with complex waveforms need additional prediction coeffi-<br />

cients in order to properly model the data.<br />

It is clear that linear prediction fails to model data sets with curvature; nonlinear<br />

predictions can accurately model these data. I cannot claim, however, that the<br />

linear part <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Volterra</strong> series models the linear events and that the nonlinear<br />

kernels are modeling the hyperbolic events.
