Overview

About

Fits the space-time Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence ('ETAS') model to earthquake catalogs using a stochastic 'declustering' approach. The 'ETAS' model is a 'spatio-temporal' marked point process model and a special case of the 'Hawkes' process. The package is based on a Fortran program by 'Jiancang Zhuang' (available at https://bemlar.ism.ac.jp/zhuang/software.html), which is modified and translated into C++ and C such that it can be called from R. Parallel computing with 'OpenMP' is possible on supported platforms.
