On Forecasting
• Why forecast? (A vocal minority of our community says we shouldn’t or can’t)– Insurance rates
– Safety
– Building codes
• Fact: Every country in the world has an earthquake forecast (it may be an assumption of zero events, but they all have one)
• Premise: Any forecast made by the seismology community is bound to be at least as good as, and probably better than, any forecast made by:– Politicians
– Lawyers
– Agency bureaucrats

Forecasting vs. Prediction
Context Characteristic
Prediction A statement that can be validated or falsified with 1 observation
ForecastA statement for which multiple
observations are required to determine a confidence level

A self-consistent global forecast
Displays elastic rebound-type behavior Gradual increase in probability prior to a large earthquake Sudden decrease in probability just after a large earthquake
Only about a half dozen parameters (assumptions) in the model whose values are determined from global data
Based on global seismic catalogs
Probabilities are highly time dependent and can change rapidly
Probabilities represent perturbations on the time average probability
Web site displays an ensemble forecast consisting of 20% BASS (ETAS) and 80% NTW forecasts
A Different Kind of Forecast: Natural Time WeibullFeatures

“If a model isn’t simple, its probably wrong” – Hiroo Kanamori (ca. 1980)

Data from ANSS catalog + other real time feeds
Based on “filling in” the Gutenberg-Richter magnitude-frequency relation
Example: for every ~1000 M>3 earthquakes there is 1 M>6 earthquake
Weibull statistics are used to convert large-earthquake deficit to a probability
Fully automated
Backtested and self-consistent
Updated in real time (at least nightly)
Accounts for statistical correlations of earthquake interactions

Verification and Validationhttp://www.cawcr.gov.au/projects/verification/
• Australian site for weather and more general validation and verification of forecasts
• Common methods are Reliability/Attributes diagrams, ROC diagrams, Briar Scores, etc.
