July 14, 2005 Hi Hank, I have another important project that I need to focus on at the moment and unfortunately cannot yet spend too much time on this one. The purpose of the original post was simply to determine if there were any people interested in this proposed project. And your responses and others indicate that there are. Detailed information regarding the forecasting program can be found on the following Web page: http://www.freewebz.com/eq-forecasting/301.html Demonstration versions of the data files you are interested in plus an early, fully operational version of the Perl language data processing program itself can be found in the following files: http://www.freewebz.com/eq-forecasting/311.zip http://www.freewebz.com/eq-forecasting/312.zip http://www.freewebz.com/eq-forecasting/313.zip That program contains the following equations which do most of the important work: $londiff = 2**(1 + (abs($dblonval - $testlonval)/3.9)); $probvalue = $testsigstren*$testweight*(10 - $londiff); If you download all of the files and follow the ReadMe.txt instructions for how to organize a directory where the files can be stored and run, then if you have Perl running on your computer the ETDPROG.pl program should run okay under Windows XP and fairly well under Windows 98. Other operating systems probably need to have some adjustments made to the ETDPROG.pl file. The files that I myself actually use are too large to store at that Web site. As far as obtaining the original data, each file is a composite of a number of different types of data. For instance, the main earthquake data file contains actual earthquake data (mostly NEIS) and specially processed sun, moon, ocean tide, and Solid Earth Tide data. At the moment, the complete files including the EM signal data file have to be obtained by e-mail from me (no charge). An important goal of this project is to have all of them stored at a Web site for downloads. Also, I collect the EM signal data myself. But if this project ever gets off the ground those types of data will hopefully become available for free from many sources around the world. Finally, remember as I said earlier, I have been working on this project for 15 years. And it covers a lot of territory. A detailed discussion of it would fill a small book! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
