PROBABILITY ESTIMATION OF MEAN TRACE LENGTH OF DISCONTINUITIES AND ITS APPLICATION

In the process of 3-D net work Modelling of discontinuities, the size of discontinuities is an important parameter. This parameter is mainly come from measuring the trace length in-situ. Sampling errors can occur due to the bias, these errors need to be corrected for the estimation of mean trace length. The method introduced here takes sampling errors into account by probability theory and through the traces data from finite 2D window transfor to trace length in infinite 2-D space. By means of computer, it is easy to estimate the mean trace legnth.
