Linear Regression -- Discretizing Continuous Inverse Problems -- Rank Deficiency and Ill-Conditioning -- Tikhonov Regularization -- Iterative Methods -- Other Regularization Techniques -- Fourier Techniques -- Nonlinear Regression -- Nonlinear Inverse Problems -- Bayesian Methods. "Parameter Estimation and Inverse Problems introduces readers to Classical and Bayesian approaches to linear and nonlinear problems, with particular attention paid to computational, mathematical, and statistical issues related to their application to geophysical problems. The accompanying CD-ROM features computational examples, and exercises using MATLAB routines. After learning this material, students should be well prepared to appreciate research papers that apply these methods."--BOOK JACKET. |
