Application of continuous spectra of radii of influence and some other possibilities of generalisation of subsidence trough description
(Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland)
Abstract: The paper presents some possibilities of improvement in the subsidence trough description in relation to the description provided by influence function methods. These possibilities rely in a new approach to the values of theory parameters. Instead of one value of a certain theory parameter it is assumed that it can vary within an interval (in particular infinite one) and each value within that interval is given a weight. Thus we receive a distribution of the values of the parameter considered analogical to the probability distribution of a random variable.
Key words: continuous spectra; knothe’s model; subsidence trough
