dc.description.abstractWe discuss the problem of softening a hard quadratic bound to generate a personal prior probability distribution. The quadratic bound requires the model vector to live within a hyperspherical volume. Prior information suggests we may work in a finite-dimensional space, thus avoiding the known difficulties associated with infinite-dimensional spaces, and that values of the Euclidean 2-norm within the volume are uniformly distributed. The application is to the estimation of the magnetic field at the core-mantle boundary.
