Abstract

Polar plots of various types of anisotropic data are often approximated by ellipses and used by earth scientists as part of the interpretation process. FITELLIPSE, a code to calculate the orientation and values of the major and minor axes of a best-fit ellipse to anisotropic data, is written using Maple, a standard commercial software. A nonlinear statistical parameter is calculated to evaluate the goodness-of-fit. Application to azimuthal resistivity in karst of Indiana demonstrates the direction and degree of the anisotropy.
