l Algorithm M8 (Keilis-Borok and Kossobokov, 1984, 1987,
1990) was designed by retroactive analysis of
seismic dynamics preceding the greatest (M³8)
earthquakes worldwide, as well as the MSc
algorithm for reducing the area of alarm
(Kossobokov,Keilis-Borok, Smith, 1990)
l The National Earthquake Information Center Global
Hypocenters Data Base (US GS/NEIC GHDB, 1989) is
sufficiently complete since 1963.
l This allows a systematic application of M8 and MSc
algorithm since 1985.
