The Friendly Settlement of Human Rights Abuses in the Americas [PDF]

, 1999
We present a new method for estimation of seismic coda shape. It falls into the same class of methods as non-parametric shape reconstruction with the use of neural network techniques where data are split into a training and validation data sets.
