Ground Intensity for ETAS Model

Description

This function calculates the value of the ground intensity of a time-magnitude Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) model. Spatial coordinates of the events are not taken into account.

Usage

etas_gif(data, evalpts, params, TT=NA, tplus=FALSE)

Arguments

data	a data frame containing the event history, where each row represents one event. There must be columns named "time", usually the number of days from some origin; and "magnitude" which is the event magnitude less the magnitude threshold, i.e. M_i - M_0.
evalpts	a vector, matrix or data.frame. If a vector, the elements will be assumed to represent the required evaluation times. Other objects must include a column named "time" that can be referred to as evalpts[,"time"], at which the intensity function will be evaluated.
params	vector of parameter values in the following order: (\mu, A, \alpha, c, p).
TT	vector of length 2, being the time interval over which the integral of the ground intensity function is to be evaluated.
tplus	logical, \lambda_g(t|{\cal H}_t) is evaluated as \lambda_g(t^+|{\cal H}_t) if TRUE, else \lambda_g(t^-|{\cal H}_t).

Details

The ETAS model was proposed by Ogata (1988, 1998, 1999) for the modelling of earthquake mainshock-aftershock sequences. The form of the ground intensity function used here is given by

\lambda_g(t|{\cal H}_t) = \mu + A \sum_{i : t_i < t} e^{\alpha(M_i - M_0)} \left( 1 + \frac{t-t_i}{c} \right)^{-p},

where t_i denotes the event times and the summation is taken over those i such that t_i < t.

Value

Two usages are as follows.

etas_gif(data, evalpts, params, tplus=FALSE)
etas_gif(data, evalpts=NULL, params, TT)

The first usage returns a vector containing the values of \lambda_g(t) evaluated at the specified points. In the second usage, it returns the value of the integral.
