This book is intended to be an introduction to the fundamentals and methods of spectral analysis and filter theory and their appli cations in geophysics. The principles and theoretical basis of the various methods are described, their efficiency and effectiveness eval uated, and instructions provided for their practical application. Be sides the conventional methods, newer methods arediscussed, such as the spectral analysis ofrandom processes by fitting models to the ob served data, maximum-entropy spectral analysis and maximum-like lihood spectral analysis, the Wiener and Kalman filtering...
