An approach to the automatic prediction of earthquakes

Abstract

A new approach to automatic prediction of earthquakes is considered. The seismotectonic processes are represented using spatio-temporal fields. The parameters of prediction by several fields are the linear predictive function, the value of the alarm decision threshold, as well as the size of the spatio-temporal alarm domain. The considered approach is not bound to a specific data type. Simulation results show that the automatic prediction is available with the use of the Internet catalogues of earthquakes, feasible and rather efficient.
