Abstract

The recent artificial intelligence techniques are commonly applied to solving problems in which multidimensional statistical analyses of various quantities and their modelling prognostic functions can be used. This paper attempts to summarize the characteristics of the prognostic functions applied in the determination of the maximum possible earthquake. Geonomic quantities are reviewed and categorized with respect to their influence upon the estimation of the maximum possible earthquake.
