Spotting Spatiotemporal Patterns in Earthquake Data

Use density-based clustering and survival analysis to estimate when earthquakes occur

Introduction

Whilst we have a fairly good understanding of where and why earthquakes occur, understanding when an earthquake will happen is very challenging. In this article we will use historical earthquake data and a combination of clustering and survival analysis to answer the following questions:

“How are earthquake events spatially distributed?”

“If an earthquake happens, what’s the probability of another earthquake happening within …
