Event selection concept
- Start from an event E in a starting catalogue C_1 (with parameters {x_1i}_i), e.g., the CACTUS catalogue.
- For each of the other catalogues C_j (listed with parameters {x_ji}_i), calculate approximations {x_ji_approx}_i for (some of) the parameters {x_ji}_i, starting from the known parameters {x_1i}_i. Let there be N such catalogues.
- For each of these catalogues C_j, select all events {E_jk}_k which have parameters {x_ji}_i sufficiently close to {x_ji_approx}_i. The "sufficiently close" is defined by broad acceptance criteria such as limited time difference and limited difference in e.g., longitude and latitude. Let {E_jk}_k be the list of such events in catalogue C_j.
- For each combination (E, E_1k, E_2k, …, E_Nk), perform space carving.
- Employ the space carving results to decide which combinations (E, E_1k, E_2k, …, E_Nk) possibly constitute a meta-event, and rank the combinations from highest to lowest probability if there is more than one such combination.
- The final characterization of the meta-event is given by the space carving results.
