Identification of electromagnetic pre-earthquake perturbations from the DEMETER data by machine learning by Xiong, Pan, Long, Cheng, Zhou, Huiyu, Battiston, Roberto, Zhang, Xuemin, Shen, Xuhui

“…We discover that among these methods, a gradient boosting-based method called LightGBM outperforms others and achieves superior performance in a five-fold cross-validation test on the benchmarking datasets, which shows a strong capability in discriminating electromagnetic pre-earthquake perturbations. The results show that the electromagnetic pre-earthquake data within a circular region with its center at the epicenter and its radius given by the Dobrovolsky’s formula and the time window of about a few hours before shocks are much better at discriminating electromagnetic pre-earthquake perturbations. …”
