“…The distribution of aftershocks is not uniform but associated with the inhomogeneous stress changes induced by the mainshock (Reasenberg and Simpson, 1992;Deng and Sykes, 1996;Meade et al, 2017). In particular, the spatial distribution of aftershocks generally correlates with positive Coulomb stress changes (King et al, 1994;Asayesh et al, 2019Asayesh et al, , 2020b. Numerous models for aftershock forecasting have already been proposed spanning the range of physicsbased models (Freed, 2005;Steacy et al, 2005;Asayesh et al, 2020a), statistical models (Ogata and Zhuang, 2006;Hainzl, 2022;Ebrahimian et al, 2022), hybrid physics-based and statistical models (Bach and Hainzl, 2012), and machine learning models (DeVries et al, 2018).…”
