\noindent

The study of rock deformation is an important aspect
of structural geology. Strain analysis is a key tool
used for studying rock deformation. This talk looks
at a statistical formulation for the problem of
strain estimation. This formulation is used to isolate
identifable features of the deformation. We
then look at a particular estimate for these parameters
and the asymptotic distribution of this estimate. We
look at the implications of these results
and how these results can be applied in practice.
