Multistate Models in Earthquake Modeling

Earthquake Occurrence Modeling Is A Rapidly Developing Research Area. This Book Deals With Its Critical Issues, Ranging From Theoretical Advances To Practical Applications. The Introductory Chapter Outlines State-of-the-art Earthquake Modeling Approaches Based On Stochastic Models. Chapter 2 Presents Seismogenesis In Association With The Evolving Stress Field. Chapters 3 To 5 Present Earthquake Occurrence Modeling By Means Of Hidden (semi-)markov Models And Discuss Associated Characteristic Measures And Relative Estimation Aspects. Further Comparisons, The Most Important Results And Our Concluding Remarks Are Provided In Chapters 6 And 7.
