Application of <i>k</i>-means and Gaussian mixture model for classification of seismic activities in Istanbul

Abstract: Abstract. Two unsupervised pattern recognition algorithms, k-means, and Gaussian mixture model (GMM) analyses have been applied to classify seismic events in the vicinity of Istanbul. Earthquakes, which are occurring at different seismicity rates and extensions of the Thrace-Eskisehir Fault Zone and the North Anatolian Fault (NAF), Turkey, are being contaminated by quarries operated around Istanbul. We have used two time variant parameters, complexity, the ratio of integrated powers of the velocity seismogram,… Show more

“…Although both the GMM and k-means algorithms rely on the use of cluster centres, only the former can account for data covariance, implying that it is more flexible in discovering clusters of different shapes (Press et al 2007). This flexibility has led to GMM clustering being applied to various observation types, such as human skin tones (Yang & Ahuja 1998), seismic events (Kuyuk et al 2012) and pulsars (Lee et al 2012). As § 4.3 will show, that flexibility will also prove to be useful here as the data clusters in our system tend to be of different shapes.…”

“…To our knowledge, other than these two bodies of work, no others have aimed to cluster the NMSZ from a purely statistical perspective. It should be pointed out that in a more general sense, numerous statistical clustering approaches including Kmeans/Kmedian (Kamat and Kamath, 2017;Novianti et al, 2017;Kuyuk et al, 2012;Ramdani et al, 2015;Malyshev, 2016), mixture models (Rhoades and Gerstenberger, 2009;Erisoglu et al, 2011;Rhoades, 2013;Kuyuk et al, 2012)) and spatial point processes (Veen and Schoenberg, 2006;Ogata, 1998;Schoenberg, 2003;Bray and Schoenberg, 2013) have been applied to earthquake data, but not the NMSZ data specifically. Thus, this work was motivated by a desire to statistically identify temporal patterns among earthquake occurrences within the NMSZ.…”
