Abstract
  • We consider point processes defined on the space-time domain which model physical processes characterized qualitatively by the gradual increase over time in some energy until a threshold is reached, after which, an event causing the loss of energy occurs. The risk function will, therefore, increase piecewise with sudden drops in correspondence to each event. This kind of behaviour is described by Reid's theory of elastic rebound in the earthquake generating process where the quantity that is accumulated is the strain energy or stress due to the relative movement of tectonic plates. The complexity and the intrinsic randomness of the phenomenon call for probabilistic models; in particular the stochastic translation of Reid's theory is given by stress release models. In this article we use such models to assess the time-dependent seismic hazard of the seismogenic zone of the Corinthos Gulf. For each event we consider the occurrence time and the magnitude, which is modelled by a probability distribution depending on the stress level present in the region at any instant. Hence we are dealing here with a marked point process. We perform the Bayesian analysis of this model by applying the stochastic simulation methods based on the generation of Markov chains, the so called Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, which allow one to reconcile the model's complexity with the computational burden of the inferential procedure. Stress release and Poisson models are compared on the basis of the Bayes factor. (literal)
