The only data required for Time Dependent Seismic Hazard (TDSH - selected area mode), application is a catalog containing seismic events ('_catalog.mat' is appended in the filenames contain such catalogs). The User enters his/hers personal workspace and clicks on a seismic events catalog, that is already uploaded (see "AH Episodes" chapter). For using a selected catalog for TDSH, the User shall click on the 'Actions' tab and then select consecutively, 'USE IN APPLICATION' and 'Hazard in selected area', as highlighted in Figure 1.

Once the service has been selected the User is requested to select options and fulfill some fields with parameter values needed for the TDSH analysis (see the following Figures). These parameters are:

...

5) Select all data. All available data included in the uploaded dataset is used for TDSH analysis

Figure 2. Interactive data selection

The magnitude range (minimum and maximum magnitude assigned in the catalog) is shown in the screen (M range, Figure 3) for informative purposes. The rest of the input parameters are demonstrated in Figure 3:

...

Magnitude distribution estimation method: Four different methods are available in the IS-EPOS platform: The Unbounded Gutenberg-Richter, the Upper-bounded Gutenberg-Richter, the unbounded non-parametric and the Upper-bounded non parametric estimations. To select one of the aforementioned methods of analysis, the User has to click on the arrow in the respective box.

Window time step (days): In this field the User selects the time window step, i.e. the number of days between the starting dates of subsequent datasets (see Figure 4 for details).

...

After selecting all the parameters needed the User may click on the run button (blue tab - figure 3), for the calculation process to be initiated.

Figure 4. Event window: The time window step is set to 5 days in both cases. Notice that the each starting date has 5 days difference from the previous one. Left frame: Parameters set are 'Time window size' equal to 100 days and 'Method of creating windows' selected to be 'TIME'. In this case the number of events differs in each dataset, but the time range (difference between ending and starting dates) is 100 days for all the datasets. Right frame: Parameters set are 'Time window size' equal to 75 (events) and 'Method of creating windows' selected to be 'EVENTS'. In this case the number of events the same in all dataset and equal to 100, but the time range (difference between ending and starting dates) is different for each dataset.

The results of the process include:

...

NOTE that figure have enabled the zoom option, the scatter/line.spline chart type and linear/logarithmic scale of the Y-axis option.
