Wadati Residual Histogram Binner
Bin station Wadati residuals into a fixed-width histogram with outlier tail capture.
Description
Bin station Wadati residuals into a fixed-width histogram with outlier tail capture.
Wadati Residual Histogram Binner is a focused tool for the following task. Bin station Wadati residuals into a fixed-width histogram with outlier tail capture. It reports centers, counts from the values you provide rather than inventing measurements, coefficients, or professional judgment that are not part of the input.
When to use Wadati Residual Histogram Binner
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.
- r_i
- Required list. Station S−P residuals.
- Δr
- Optional number. Histogram bin width.
The cited overview of Seismometer supplies background for the terminology and domain context used by this tool.1
How Wadati Residual Histogram Binner works
Bin station Wadati residuals into a fixed-width histogram with outlier tail capture. Inputs are interpreted exactly in the displayed units and the calculation returns the following fields without presentation rounding.
- centers
- Returned list. Bin centers (ascending).
- counts
- Returned list. Residual counts per bin.
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.
- 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.
