events. In this case, the assumption <strong>of</strong> predictability <strong>of</strong> waveforms in the f − x<br />
domain is not valid and consequently the algorithm fails to attenuate the multiples<br />
(Abma et al., 2005). Our extension <strong>of</strong> Spitz (1999) method to use the <strong>Volterra</strong><br />
series aims to solve this problem. I assume that the predicted multiples differ from<br />
the true multiples mainly in the wavelet and a possible time shift with respect to<br />
the multiples in the data panel.<br />
5.2 <strong>Prediction</strong> Error Operator<br />
From the multiple panel one can compute prediction error filters <strong>of</strong> the form<br />
