ABSTRACT

This paper investigates statistical line fitting for estimation of one type of data from another. Statistical estimation is important. It is used in all sciences, in technology, and in commercial decision making. Examples from the geosciences include finding depth from seismic two-way time, core-related porosity or permeability from well-log data, and oil saturation from reservoir parameters.
