Cost functions in the case of applying real GNSS time series. The red circles indicate the change in the cost function values only when the frictional parameters are optimized. The black star indicates the optimization result. The red triangles indicate the further updates of the frictional parameters when L49, a highly sensitive parameter of the cost function, is fixed to the optimum value. The blue circles show the results when simulation variables and frictional parameters are simultaneously optimized
