Abstract
Recent geoelectrical resistivity interpretation procedures require more careful and reliable inforinations. New electrical prospecting techniques using high density data, high resolution inversion and visualization of simulation would become increasingly important tools for geoexploration. This paper begins with a brief review of the model optimization in electrical prospecting method and of the application of a stcitistical information criterion. In details, in the interpretation procedure using the digital linear filter algorithm we adopt AIC (Akaike's Information Criterion) for the evaluation of model optimization in the ground water exploration by vertical electrical sounding method. Next, four kinds of field interpretation have been chosen to discuss the application of AIC evaluation to practical problems including the so-called equivalent resistivity layer model.
