CISN Testing Center evaluation results are presented as reference performance metrics. An important goal of a collaborative testing capabilities is the ability to compare equivalent results.
CTC Result Posting
As of 20 June 2011, CTC consists of two elements, an automated data processing framework based on the CSEP software that retrieves observational data for use in evaluations.
A second element are processing software that parses CISN Algorithm performance reports and matches the EEW event and site forecast information against ANSS catalog and ShakeMap ground motion observations.
When testing results are presented, the results are identified with a specific version of the CTC software, and with a Run ID.
For transparency, CTC evaluation summaries are identified with a CTC software version. When a CTC results is presented, all input data sets used in the calculation, all authorized data sets (observational data), and all source code is accessible to researchers. All calculations can be checked.
For controlled environment, CTC evaluation summaries are based on EEW forecasts created during earthquake processing and transmitted to the CTC testing center with no human intervention. Performance summaries are produced by CTC testing group, independent of algorithm developers. Observational data used is obtained from approved and authorized data sources (ANSS Catalog and ShakeMap).
For comparability, CTC evaluation summaries integrate information from multiple algorithms. CTC processing combines information from multiple algorithms producing comparable performance information for difference algorithms for same earthquakes.
For reproducibility, CTC results can be reproduced by retrieving the CTC software version used to produced the summaries. The CTC software can be run interactively, which enables any use to reproduce CTC results.
