Earthquake Statistical Analysis Through Multi State Modeling

Download or read book Earthquake Statistical Analysis through Multi-state Modeling written by Irene Votsi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquake occurrence modeling is a rapidly developing research area. This book deals with its critical issues, ranging from theoretical advances to practical applications. The introductory chapter outlines state-of-the-art earthquake modeling approaches based on stochastic models. Chapter 2 presents seismogenesis in association with the evolving stress field. Chapters 3 to 5 present earthquake occurrence modeling by means of hidden (semi-)Markov models and discuss associated characteristic measures and relative estimation aspects. Further comparisons, the most important results and our concluding remarks are provided in Chapters 6 and 7.
