Abstract:A method is described that makes possible the identification of the independent seismic units of a given area (Caputo and Postpischl, 1973 b).The seismic information is treated as a bidimensional signal disturbed by a certain background noise. The filtering of this noise makes it possible to delineate the seismic areas objectively.An indirect check on the method was made by estimating with respect to the various regions identified the a and /J parameters of the law Ny = a e~Py which gives the number of earthqu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
