“…As discussed by Choi and Hall (1999) and others, the parametric approach suffers by many drawbacks. First of all, there is an intrinsic difficulty in deriving reliable mathematical models from the geophysical theory.…”

“…This approach has been pursued in seismology by several authors: the seminal paper by Vere-Jones (1992) compared parametric and nonparametric approaches; the books by Bailey and Gatrell (1995) and Simonoff (1996) provided many numerical applications. Recently, Choi and Hall (1999) have included time in Kernel smoothers and Stock and Smith (2002a,b) apply adaptive estimation.…”

“…As a result they have produced maps of seismic risk which are fundamentally static, and may be useful only if events occur at a constant rate. On the other hand, Choi and Hall (1999) treat time as an additional spatial axis, and estimate the present value of the intensity with a two-sided smoother which also includes future events. This approach poses practical and conceptual problems because time, unlike space, has a causal (unidirectional) nature; moreover, the intensity function is usually defined in conditional form, with respect to the past history of the process.…”

“…Zhuang et al 2002), the estimation of the conditional intensity on real data is usually performed with nonparametric methods. Omitting the depth coordinate z and assuming multiplicative kernels, Vere-Jones (1992), Bailey and Gatrell (1995), Choi and Hall (1999), and Smith (2002a, 2002b) focused on the kernel densitŷ…”

“…Direct kernel smoothing can then be used to estimate the intensity of this presumed Poisson process, and has the advantages of simplicity in computation and adaptability to the data. However, in fact, it is difficult for such intensity rate changes estimated by kernels to express very asymmetric, sharp or highly variable features as seen in Choi and Hall, (1999) and Grillenzoni (2005). These features mainly arise from the fact that earthquake occurrences are history dependent, as for example when a large earthquake occurs that is followed by many aftershocks.…”
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.
