Mainshock+aftershock M4.95+ seismicity forecasts derived from the Regional Earthquake Likelihood Models (RELM) and the multiplicative hybrid earthquake models developed by Rhoades et al. (2014)

Contains six mainshock+aftershock seismicity forecasts developed by the Working Group of the Regional Earthquake Likelihood Models (RELM) experiment, as well as sixteen multiplicative hybrid forecasts created by Rhoades et al. (2014). Six additional forecast files are included to properly conduct the comparative tests implemented in the Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability (CSEP) testing centre. Forecasts are stored in tab separated value files with the following fields (the first row of data is shown as an example): LON_0 LON_1 LAT_0 LAT_1 DEPTH_0 DEPTH_1 MAG_0 MAG_1 RATE FLAG -125.4 -125.3 40.1 40.2 0.0 30.0 4.95 5.05 5.8499099999999998e-04 1 Forecast are described in detail by the following publications: Bird, P., and Z.
