Declustering Probabilities, Background Seismicity Rate and Clustering Coefficient

Description

Functions to estimate the declustering probabilities, background seismicity rate and clustering (triggering) coefficient for a fitted ETAS model.

Usage

  probs(fit)
  rates(fit, lat.range = NULL, long.range = NULL,
        dimyx=NULL, plot.it=TRUE)

Arguments

`fit`	A fitted ETAS model. An object of class `"etas"`.
`lat.range`	Latitude range of the rectangular grid. A numeric vector of length 2.
`long.range`	Longitude range of the rectangular grid. A numeric vector of length 2.
`dimyx`	Dimensions of the rectangular discretization grid for the geographical study region. A numeric vector of length 2.
`plot.it`	Logical flag indicating whether to plot the rates or return them as pixel images.

Details

The function probs returns estimates of the declustering probabilities

p[j] = 1 - mu(x[j], y[j])/lambda(t[j], x[j], y[j]|H_t[j])

where 1-p[j] is the probability that event j is a background event.

The function rates returns kernel estimate of the background seismicity rate mu(x,y) and the clustering (triggering) coefficient

omega(x,y)=1-mu(x,y)/Lambda(x,y)

where Lambda(x,y) is the total spatial intensity function.

The argument dimyx determines the rectangular discretization grid dimensions. If it is given, then it must be a numeric vector of length 2 where the first component dimyx[1] is the number of subdivisions in the y-direction (latitude) and the second component dimyx[2] is the number of subdivisions in the x-direction (longitude).

Value

If plot.it=TRUE, the function produces plots of the background seismicity and total spatial rate, clustering coefficient and conditional intensity function at the end of study period.

If plot.it=FALSE, it returns a list with components

bkgd the estimated background siesmicity rate
total the estimated total spatial rate
clust the estimated clustering coefficient
lamb the estimated conditional intensity function at time t=t_{start} + T
