2 Wydział Fizyki UW Warszawa, (1) Plan of the talk I. INTRODUCTION forward/inverse problems inversion as a parameter estimation task direct/indirect measurements II. PROBABILISTIC APPROACH inversion as an inference process description of information - probability experimental, theoretical, and apriori information Building A posteriori pdf Bayesian rule - a posteriori probability Tarantola s (probabilistic) approach A posteriori pdf - examples II. GEOPHYSICAL EXAMPLES

4 Forward and inverse problems inversion Wydział Fizyki UW Warszawa, (3)

5 Forward and inverse problems parameter estimation Wydział Fizyki UW Warszawa, (4)

6 Wydział Fizyki UW Warszawa, (5) Model and Data Parameters Physical System: Model parameters: p 1, p 2, p K Predicted (Observed) data: m = (m 1, m 2, m M ) d = (d 1, d 2, d N ) Forward modelling: d = f(m)

7 Wydział Fizyki UW Warszawa, (6) Linear Inverse Problem Algebraic approach d = G m Naive inversion: m est = G 1 d Algebraic method: G T d = G T G m G T G = G T G + λi m est = (G T G + λi) 1 d

8 Wydział Fizyki UW Warszawa, (7) Inverse Problem Optimization approach Searching the model space for the model which best fits the data Least squares method: (d obs f(m)) T (d obs f(m)) = min More generally: (d obs f(m)) D + m m apr M = min

9 Wydział Fizyki UW Warszawa, (8) Direct / Indirect measurements Counts: events No. of particles quantified parameters Counts in a scale unit: mass luminosity temperature Quantities unmeasureable directly: mas of a earth, star, galaxy temperature distribution in the Earth, the sun, etc. mass of elementary particles...

Decision theory. 1 We may also consider randomized decision rules, where δ maps observed data D to a probability distribution over Point estimation Suppose we are interested in the value of a parameter θ, for example the unknown bias of a coin. We have already seen how one may use the Bayesian method to reason about θ; namely, we
