Re: STATISTICAL ACCURACY / PROBABILITY ? |
Christopher...this is not what I do, but I have been casually watching occurence of quakes for 16 years so could comment....can you link to or type in the exact prediction you are talking about? There is about 1 Great quake/yr. So, there is better than 1 in 100 chance that you would catch one in a 4 day window. And, if there are 100 people making predictions like this, or 1 person making 100 predictions, there is a pretty good chance they will get it by chance. Was the prediction really very clear that it was greater than M8?
