Seismicity change revealed by ETAS, PI, and Z-value methods: A case study of the 2013 Nantou, Taiwan earthquake

pp 139-155

Masashi Kawamura, Chien-chih Chen, Yih-Min Wu

-

Highlights: •We examined precursory seismicity change of the March 2013 Nantou earthquake. •We applied three statistical models to the earthquake data in Taiwan region. •They comprise the ETAS model, the pattern informatics method, and the Z-value test. •Seismic quiescence regions were found over broader regions outside the source area. •It would be due to precursory slip on fault plane of the Nantou event.
