Title: | A different intensity recording for reducing the uncertainty in its assessment: An application to the completeness analysis of earthquake catalogues | Journal: | Natural Hazards | Series/Report no.: | /10 (1994) | Issue Date: | 1994 | DOI: | 10.1007/BF00643440 | Keywords: | Seismic intensity assessment completeness degree of a catalogue |
Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the consequences of the ordinal and qualitative nature of seismic intensity regarding its recording. The classical way of recording by an integer value implies that on many occasions it can be difficult to associate only one intensity degree to an event. Therefore, we propose to record the intensity in a new way so that the expert is no longer restricted to indicating only one value, but can express his belief that the considered event belongs to any one of the intensity classes in the scale. Following this approach, as an example, we study the completeness of the Sannio-Matese catalogue and show how the degree of completeness changes according to the degree of uncertainty in intensity assessment. |
