Class MagUncertainty

java.lang.Object

gov.usgs.earthquake.nshmp.eq.model.MagUncertainty

public class MagUncertainty
extends Object

Wrapper class for magnitude uncertainty data. Uncertainty flags are initialized based on input data, however, due to quirky nshmp rules, they may be overriden at some point and should always be checked prior to calculation regardless of any uncertainty values present.

Method Detail

create

public static MagUncertainty create(double[] epiDeltas,
                                    double[] epiWeights,
                                    double epiCutoff,
                                    double aleaSigma,
                                    int aleaCount,
                                    boolean moBalance,
                                    double aleaCutoff)

Factory magnitude uncertainty container constructor.

Parameters:

epiDeltas - epistemic change to magnitude (M +/- delta)

epiWeights - weight for each change; must be same length as epiDeltas

epiCutoff - minimum magnitude for which epistemic uncertainty applies, below which it is disabled

aleaSigma - standard deviation of aleatory Gaussian uncertainty

aleaCount - number of aleatory uncertainty magnitude bins across a normal distribution

moBalance - whether to preserve moment across aleatory uncertainty bins

aleaCutoff - minimum magnitude for which aleatory uncertainty applies, below which it is disabled

Returns:

a magnitude uncertainty container

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

appendTo

public Element appendTo(Element node)

Appends the XML form of this magnitude uncertainty data to the supplied Element.

Parameters:

node - to append to

Returns:

a reference to the newly created Element
