Thanks for the comments.

For me at least this type of research is long past the "need for proof" stage. This latest effort assumes that the method works. And I am trying to find out how well it might have worked for a specific earthquake.

My computer programs can often tell if a specific Ear Tone was linked with a particular earthquake. It would be difficult to fake those types of data as my statistical comparison procedures are so tremendously complex.

Unfortunately, this approach to forecasting earthquakes might be the only one that has a chance of working at the moment. There are others such as Earthquake Clouds that look quite promising. But after talking with those researchers for years it appears to me that they just can't seem to get their methods sufficiently well organzied to be able to convince governments scientists etc. that their approaches work. There is a lot of politics involved with this science.

I myself am not having those types of problems. I simply need to get my programs better organized so that other researchers can use them with a minimum of effort. Then they can see for themselves that they work.

These are personal opinions.
