Attached is a figure showing a collection of velocity profiles across a region. The goal would be to group each of theses curves into groups with similar characteristics
My idea is to group the entire profile for two reasons: 1) The goal is to randomly generate similar profiles. 2) The layering sequence within a profile is dependent on the geologic conditions. So the relationship between adjacent layers would be different for different groups, and would require more variables to describe. I think if you clustered using thickness and velocity, then you would also have to consider depth as well.
