Minutes

The topics of the call were about the current California aftershock forecasting experiment at the SCEC Testing Center and developing evaluations for simulations that produce stochastic event sets.

Simulations

  • Verify with Ned: Does no faults ETAS include characteristic earthquake behavior? If a large earthquake does not rupture on a known fault does that produce an isotropic aftershock distribution.
  • Characteristic EQ Behavior: the larger earthquakes in a segment are overrepresented wrt to their extrapolation in a GR plots.
  • The aftershocks still follow GR (in ETAS), so the larger proportion of large earthquakes causes more aftershocks and can lead to runaway sequences.
  • David Rhoades simulation-based model can produce stochastic event sets. With little modifications.
  • How long will it take until we know whether or not faults make the difference in the simulations?
  • Can deal with fault-finiteness by pulling from the ComCat or looking at earthquake aftershocks

Evaluations

  • Warner and David supplied a document outlining the new possible tests for CSEP2 simulation- based tests.
  • Tests typically follow CSEP1 consistency testing ideas with some emphasis on formulating likelihood based tests.
  • Need to put some more effort into understanding likelihood (comparative) based-testing.
  • Paper on proper scoring: https://www.stat.washington.edu/raftery/Research/PDF/Gneiting2007jasa.pdf
