travel-time data for these parameters is one of the oldest challenges in seismology. Travel-time is a nonlinear function of earthquake location. Common approaches: 1) Iterative (linearized) inversion methods 2) Master event methods “Introduction To Seismology” by P. Shearer, Cambridge University Press
