Hi everyone,   Anyone wants to know how C:\GEOSOFT\ETC\LEASTSQU.5X5 coefficients are derived in details, please refer the following references:   Savitzky A. and Golay M., ‘Smoothing and differentiation of data by simplified least squares procedures’, Analytical Chemistry 36 (1964) no. 8, pp1627-1639.

Please contact me if there are any further queries.   Cheers, Ting Geosoft Inc.    -----Original Message----- From: skyhunter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 12:36 PM To: GEONET Subject: [geonet]: Least squares filter Hi everyone,   I was wondering if anyone can give me any information on the least squares convolution filters that appear in the file C:\GEOSOFT\ETC\LEASTSQU.5X5. Specifically, were did it come from, how was it derived.   Aaron Balasch Sky Hunter Technologies Inc. Suite 101, 1725 10th Avenue S.W.
