Estimating rock and fluid properties in the subsurface from geophysical measurements is a computationally memory-intensive inverse problem. For nonlinear problems with non-Gaussian variables, analytical solutions are generally not available, of those must be approximated using sampling optimization methods. To reduce computational cost, model data can reparameterized into low-dimensional spaces where solution problem computed more efficiently. Among potential dimensionality reduction...
