We propose a novel method in this paper to observe seismic data on time slices from spatial subsets. The composition of a spatial subset and the unique character of orthogonal or oblique subsets are described and pre-stack subsets are shown by 3D visualization. In seismic data processing, spatial subsets can be used for the following aspects： （1） to check the trace distribution uniformity and regularity; （2） to observe the main features of ground-roll and linear noise; （3） to find abnormal traces from slices of datasets; and （4） to QC the results of pre-stack noise attenuation. The field data application shows that seismic data analysis in spatial subsets is an effective method that may lead to a better discrimination among various wavefields and help us obtain more information.展开更多

Based on the improved Hilbert curve, the algorithm can be designed to achieve almost-uniform spatial data partitioning among multiple disks in parallel spatial databases. Thus, the phenomenon of data imbalance can be significantly avoided and search and query efficiency can be enhanced.展开更多

In this article, using generalized estimation equation techniques, we propose a new kind of regression models for parameterizing covariance structures. Using a novel Cholesky factor, the entries in this decomposition have moving average and log innovation interpretation and are modeled as the regression coefficients in both the mean and the linear functions of covariates. The resulting estimators for eovarianee are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normally distributed.
