A number of forward modeling methods are available, and the choice of method generally depends on a tradeoff between the accuracy necessary and the desired computing time. In general, the type of data to be modeled, the complexity of the model, and the aspects of the data that need to be accurately modeled dictate the method that should be used. | A number of forward modeling methods are available, and the choice of method generally depends on a tradeoff between the accuracy necessary and the desired computing time.
