Resumen:
We propose the use of statistical measures to quantify robustness, uncertainty, and significance for Markovian models of large magnitude seismic systems, and we also propose a method for choosing the best of different models by using the normalized measures in a discriminant function. We tested the proposed methods on earthquakes occurring in an area around Japan, divided into four regions; modeling the system as having four states, where each state corresponds to the region where the latest large earthquake, larger than a given threshold moment magnitude, has occurred. Our results show that for the 7.0-7.3 threshold magnitude range the seismicity of this region does occur according to a Markovian process, with optimum results for threshold magnitude 7.1, whereas for magnitudes outside this range seismicity is less Markovian.
