Network Cluster Singleton Fraction Quality
Cluster-analysis quality screen: fraction of unassociated singletons in a detected cluster set.
Description
Cluster-analysis quality screen: fraction of unassociated singletons in a detected cluster set.
Network Cluster Singleton Fraction Quality is a focused tool for the following task. Cluster-analysis quality screen: fraction of unassociated singletons in a detected cluster set. It reports f_sing, Quality from the values you provide rather than inventing measurements, coefficients, or professional judgment that are not part of the input.
When to use Network Cluster Singleton Fraction Quality
Use this seismology calculation to reproduce a stated convention, screen observations, or compare scenarios whose units, coordinate conventions, catalog selection, and model assumptions are known.
- n_sing
- Required integer. Unassociated events.
- n_clust
- Required integer. Events assigned to clusters.
The cited overview of Seismology supplies background for the terminology and domain context used by this tool.1
How Network Cluster Singleton Fraction Quality works
Cluster-analysis quality screen: fraction of unassociated singletons in a detected cluster set. Inputs are interpreted exactly in the displayed units and the calculation returns the following fields without presentation rounding.
- f_sing
- Returned number. Singletons over total events.
- Quality
- Returned string. Association quality band.
Limitations and assumptions
- Earth structure, source geometry, path effects, site response, instrument response, catalog completeness, uncertainty, and the fitted range can dominate the accuracy of simplified seismic calculations.
- n_sing must be at least 0.
- n_clust must be at least 0.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units, preserve source measurements and assumptions, and independently verify consequential decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
For analysis or hazard decisions, retain uncertainty and provenance and compare the result with waveform processing, calibrated regional models, and guidance from qualified seismologists or the responsible agency.
