A stochastic marked point process model for earthquakes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simplified stochastic model for earthquake occurrence focusing on the spatio-temporal interactions between earthquakes is presented. The model is a marked point process model in which each earthquake is represented by its magnitude and coordinates in space and time. The model incorporates the occurrence of aftershocks as well as the buildup and subsequent release of strain. The parameters of the model are estimated from a maximum likelihood calculation.

A Stochastic Time and Space Model for Earthquakes
A stochastic model for earthquake occurrence focusing on the spatio-temporal interactions between earthquakes is discussed. The model is a marked point process model in which each earthquake is represented as a marked point in space and time. The marks are given by the magnitudes of the earthquakes but other observed properties of the earthquakes, such as information on the fault lines, can str...
متن کاملThe Use of Statistical Point Processes in Geoinformation Analysis
Many objects in space can best be modeled statistically by using point processes. Examples are fires in an urban environment, herds of animals in large areas, earthquakes and forest fires and large speckles on a radar image. Modern developments in point process theory now much better than before allow us to make statistical models to explain the observed patterns. In this paper, we will address...
متن کاملA Bi-objective Stochastic Optimization Model for Humanitarian Relief Chain by Using Evolutionary Algorithms
Due to the increasing amount of natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods and unnatural disasters such as war and terrorist attacks, Humanitarian Relief Chain (HRC) is taken into consideration of most countries. Besides, this paper aims to contribute humanitarian relief chains under uncertainty. In this paper, we address a humanitarian logistics network design problem including local dis...
متن کاملNew Solutions for Fokker-Plank Equation of Special Stochastic Process via Lie Point Symmetries
In this paper Lie symmetry analysis is applied in order to find new solutions for Fokker Plank equation of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. This analysis classifies the solutions format of the Fokker Plank equation by using the Lie algebra of the symmetries of our considered stochastic process.
متن کاملModels of Stochastic, Spatially Varying Stress in the Crust Compatible with Focal-Mechanism Data, and How Stress Inversions Can Be Biased toward the Stress Rate
Evidence suggests that slip in earthquakes and the resultant stress changes are spatially heterogeneous. If crustal stress from past earthquakes is spatially heterogeneous, then earthquake focal mechanisms should also be spatially variable. We describe the statistical attributes of simulated earthquake catalogs, including hypocenters and focal mechanisms, for a spatially 3D, time-varying model ...
