Achievements :

A rigorous test of natural data sets is carried out by the direct invervsion method (Angelier, 1990), iterative method (Etchecopar et al, 1981) and the direct linear inversion method (Hansen, 2013). The new data used for these tests are our own fault-slip observations in the Precambrian Berach Granite around Chittaurgarh in the north-west Indian shield.
