Paleoseismic interevent times interpreted for an unsegmented earthquake rupture forecast
[1] Forecasters want to consider an increasingly rich variety of earthquake ruptures. Past occurrence is captured in part by paloeseismic observations, which necessarily see threedimensional ruptures only at a point. This has not been a problem before, because forecasts have assumed that faults are segmented, and that repeated ruptures occur uniformly along them. A technique is now required to ...
متن کاملDistribution of tsunami interevent times
[1] The distribution of tsunami interevent times is analyzed using global and site-specific (Hilo, Hawaii) tsunami catalogs. An empirical probability density distribution is determined by binning the observed interevent times during a period in which the observation rate is approximately constant. The empirical distributions for both catalogs exhibit non-Poissonian behavior in which there is an...
متن کاملOn the Distribution of Earthquake Interevent Times and the Impact of Spatial Scale
The distribution of earthquake interevent times is a subject that has attracted much attention in the statistical physics literature [1-3]. A recent paper proposes that the distribution of earthquake interevent times follows from the the interplay of the crustal strength distribution and the loading function (stress versus time) of the Earth’s crust locally [4]. It was also shown that the Weibu...
متن کاملA Large Sample Independence Test for Finite Mean Processes
We use the sample covariation to develop asymptotic tests for independence for data in the normal domain of attraction of a stable law. The tests can be used for finite or infinite variance processes. In a simulation study we compare the finite sample performance of the proposed tests to the Portmanteau test commonly used in time series modeling. The null convergence of the test statistics to t...
متن کاملOrigin and nonuniversality of the earthquake interevent time distribution.
Many authors have modeled regional earthquake interevent times using a gamma distribution, whereby data collapse occurs under a simple rescaling of the data from different regions or time periods. We show, using earthquake data and simulations, that the distribution is fundamentally a bimodal mixture distribution dominated by correlated aftershocks at short waiting times and independent events ...
