摘要：This paper provides an introduction to multivariate non-parametrichazard model for the occurrence of earthquakes since the hazard functionde nes the statistical distribution of inter-event times. The method is appliedto the Turkish seismicity since a signi cant portion of Turkey is subjectto frequent earthquakes and presents several advantages compared to othermore traditional approaches. Destructive earthquakes from 1903 to 2009 betweenthe longitudes of (39-42)N and the latitudes of (26-45)E are used.The paper demonstrates how seismicity and tectonics/physics parametersthat can potentially inuence the spatio-temporal variability of earthquakesand presents several advantages compared to more traditional approaches.
