Abstract

In this study we present some statistical aspects of the estimation of earthquake source parameters. The problems dealt with include incompleteness of model specification and seismic scattering.

Chapter 1 provides some statistical theory and discusses the fitting of finite parameter time series models including non-linear regression.

Chapter 2 introduces the seismological basis for the fitted models and related problems including attenuation and scattering.

Chapter 3 introduces a technique appropriate for the models of chapter 2 and discusses some theory and practical aspects of the technique. An example is presented illustrating the use of the technique.
