NVESTIGATING PATTERN INFORMATICS METHOD FOR EARTHQUAKE FORECASTING IN IRAN

near a decade ago a method of earthquake forecasting introduced based on pattern informatics PI which quantifies temporal variations in seismicity in a basic of local to woldwide . It showed that pattern informatics can be used to detect precusory seismic activation or quiescence and therefor it makes earthquake forecast. its output is a map of areas in a seismogenic region called hotsposts where earthquakes with magnitude graeater than a specified value are forecasted to occur in a future time span
