Directory Structure

Overview of the Directories

In general ParMT can be broken into three basic steps

1. Pre-processing
2. Grid-search estimation
3. Post-processing

The first step relates to data selection, pre-processing, and computation of Green's functions. These functions are tabulated in the prepmt directory. ParMT, at present, is equipped to only process teleseismic P-waves and regional surface waves.

The second step relates to tabulating the grid-search. The grid-search can be performed on the waveforms with parmt or on the teleseismic polarities with polarmt. An interesting feature of parmt is the ability to process surface waves, body waves, and polarities independent of one-another and combine the objective function in a subsequent step with mergemt. Functions for performing these operations are in the src directory.

The third step relates to post-processing the results of the grid-search. There are currently minimal routines for computation of summary statistics and marginal PDFs. In time the Python source for performing these computations will trickle into the repository. Some potentially useful functions exist in the postprocess directory.

In a project cleanup phase extraneous directories will be removed and a consistent function naming scheme will be introduced.
