The three data files (picks_vconstant, rec_xyz, and src_xyz) are described in chapter 11 of the notes, as is the basic statics estimation problem. The c code read_data.c shows how to read the files and produce a sparse matrix and rhs. To save you time I've already done this. The rhs and matrix are contained in the files rhs.paul and matrix.paul. The matrix has 120760 nonzero elements. The file matrix.paul is organized by the nonzero elements followed by the row and column pointers.
