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 />
