International symposium “Toward constructing earthquake forecast systems for Japan” 27 May 2009 at ERI, Univ. Tokyo Results of “Call for earthquake forecast models, test regions & forecast evaluation methods” Research group of earthquake forecast systems based on seismicity of Japan in collaboration with D. Schorlemmer, F. Euchner, and CSEP working group
The earthquake forecast testing experiment • Current stage: Testing Center was installed and three models are under test. • Next stage: Use the existing Testing Center to start a formal testing this academic year Triple-S RI ALM
Rules of the game • Testing regions • Default regions (d≤30km) with grid spacing 0.1 deg. • Invite test regions • Testing classes (Invite forecast models) • 1-day forecast • 1-year forecast • 5-year forecast • Future earthquakes that will be forecast: • The revised JMA bulletin. No declustering. • Number of earthquakes in a predefined time window for each magnitude bin in the range 5.0≤M≤9.0 (0.1 magnitude unit steps) at each predefined grid node within a predefined testing region. • Forecast evaluation methods • CSEP official suite • Invite forecast evaluation methods • We noticed this experiment to seismologists through our webpage and Newsletter of Seism. Soc. Japan in 2009
Give notice of proposals • Earthquake forecast model proposal • Test region proposal and applicable forecast models • Forecast evaluation method proposal
Forecast models • Seismicity-based forecast models with different earthquake-generation hypotheses. • ALM: D. Schorlemmer (1 yr) • Triple-S: J. Zechar (1 yr) • RI: K.Z. Nanjo (1 yr, 1 day if there is any proposed one-day model) • Asperity-based: S. Matsumura (1 yr) • Double-branching: W. Marzocchi (1 yr: need to be checked) • ETAS: Ogata (1 yr: need to be checked) • ETAS: J. Zhuang (1 yr: need to be checked) • MARFS, MARFSTA, & JMM: C. Smyth (1 yr)
Proposed test regions Default all Japan with d≤30km (proposed by CSEP): ALM , Triple-S, RI, Double-branching, ETAS (Ogata), ETAS (Zhuang), MARFS, MARFSTA & JMM. Same with d≤100km (proposed by EFSSJ): Models are invited Off Ibaraki with d≤100km (proposed by Matsumura): Asperity-based Kanto with d≤100km (proposed by Nanjo): Models are invited
Evaluation methods • CSEP official suite that is currently used: J. Zechar • Likelihood-based N, L, R-tests • Alarm-based tests • Conventional likelihood-based methods: M. Imoto
