Description
Summary:Abstract In this paper, a local magnitude estimation model using ridge regression is proposed for the accurate determination of the local magnitude of earthquakes. To increase its accuracy, an estimation model was derived from the hypocentral distance correction term and peak amplitude using ridge regression. The improved performance of the proposed estimation model was evaluated via the mean squared error. It was compared with the least squares model to confirm its superiority in predicting the real magnitude.
