40:1	Brute stack from compression - decompression of prestack seismic data at a compression ratio of 40:1. Mean Squared Error (MSE) = 34 db	Residual stack equal to the difference of the original stack and the one resulting after compression-decompression at 40:1
60:1	Brute stack from compression - decompression of prestack seismic data at a compression ratio of 60:1. Mean Squared Error (MSE) = 31 db	Residual stack equal to the difference of the original stack and the one resulting after compression - decompression at 60:1
100:1	Brute stack from compression - decompression of prestack seismic data at a compression ratio of 100:1. Mean Squared Error (MSE) = 25 db	Residual stack equal to the difference of the original stack and the one resulting after compression - decompression at 100:1
