Abstract

A

For constrained inversion of potential field data within the framework of generalized inversion an analysis of data error variances leads to confidence limits for the model parameters. For that purpose Pseudo‐hyper‐ellipsoids can be used to describe the nonlinear behaviour of the given inverse problem, and upper and lower bounds can be added to those parameters of which some independent knowledge is available. A gravity example is treated to show the application of the method.
