f Geoel: An IBM PC algorithm for the automatic processing and graphic presentation of geoelectric data

This paper addresses the problem of automatic processing and interpretation of geoelectric data with personal computers. The main algorithm is divided into two processing stages. During the first processing stage, the field curve is aproximated by a group of layers which are determined automatically by the program in such a way that the resulting theoreticaI curve describes as close as possible the field curve. This operation is performed in the resistivity - space domain and the optimum number of layers needed to describe the resistivity distribution versus depth is determined from the algorithm.
