Chapter Chapter 11 in The Elements of Hawkes Processes, 2021, pp 101-111 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this section, we consider the most traditional application of Hawkes processes, which is modelling the arrival of earthquakes. In honour of the many early Hawkes researchers from Japan, we will take a look at records of earthquakes near the Japanese islands (Fig. 11.1). There is a natural motivation for using Hawkes processes to model earthquake arrivals. This is the idea that a large (‘parent’) earthquake is often followed by a few smaller earthquakes or aftershocks (‘children’). Fig. 11.1 The locations of 300 earthquakes from the dataset of 48,888 earthquakes in the Japan region between 1st January 1973 and 31 December 2020. The data was downloaded from the IRIS Earthquake Browser, which collates various sources (e.g. including the USGS)
