"A Kernel method for probabilistic seismic hazard computation, without definition of\r\nsource zones, has been compared with the classical Cornell-McGuire method. The Kernel\r\nmethod used here amalgamates statistical consistency with an empirical knowledge basis\r\n(earthquake catalogue), and incorporates parameters describing the structured character of\r\nthe earthquake distribution. Statistical Kernel techniques are used to compute probability\r\ndensity functions for the size and location of future events, and linear trends based on geo-\r\nlogical or seismic information, and uncertainties in magnitude and epicentral location for\r\neach earthquake are incorporated in the statistical estimates. The Kernel method has been\r\nexplored in terms of the available parameterisation, particularly aimed to understand how\r\ntectonic knowledge of a region and expert judgement can be used in reasonable and statis-\r\ntically significant ways. The two computation methods were compared with synthetic data\r\nand with seismicity catalogues (from Norway and Spain). When using real data it was\r\nfound that the Kernel method generally yields lower hazard results than the Cornell-\r\nMcGuire approach. More specifically it is found that the difference between the two methods increase with increasing deviation in the catalogue from the self similarity assumption implied by the Gutenberg-Richter relationship. The Kernel method has features that circumvent some of the simplification drawbacks of the conventional zoning methods, and it has potentials to develop into a feasible alternative for hazard computation."^^ .
