earthquakes: Waiting Times between Strong Earthquakes in the Appennino...

In BayHaz: R Functions for Bayesian Hazard Rate Estimation

Description

This data set gives the waiting times (in years) between earthquakes with moment maginitude greater than 5.1, in the Italian seismogenic zone 923, from year 1650 to year 2002, as obtained by La Rocca (2005) based on the catalogue by Gruppo di Lavoro CPTI (2004).

Usage

data(earthquakes)

Format

A data frame with 47 observations on the following 2 variables:

ti

earthquake inter-event times (years)

ob

censoring indicators (0 = right censored, 1 = exact)

Note

All observations are exact, except for the last one (a characteristic of this kind of data).
