WITHDRAWN Artificial Neural Networking and Statistical Analysis of Turkey’s Earthquake 2023

WITHDRAWN The purpose of this study is to provide a statistical analysis of earthquakes that have occurred on the Anatolian Tectonic Plate in Turkey and Syria (Latitude: 34.124 to 43.44 and Longitude: 41.549 to 33.064). This study took into account the Mw 7.8 and Mw 7.5 earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023, in Turkey. An analysis of previous earthquake data from 1 January 1960 to 1 February 2023 has been conducted. Through 11 March 2023, aftershock data have also been examined. With the Gutenberg-Richter law and the Maximum Likelihood Estimator, the complete dataset's a- and b-values have been estimated, and the seismicity of the area has been determined. To perform all statistical analysis and visualization, as well as to clean and filter data, Python programming has been used. Zone maps are plotted using the tableau. Additionally, we calculate the mean, median, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation to support upcoming analytical work.

In the paper, artificial neural networks are also discussed as machine learning algorithms for magnitude forecasting. The mathematically calculated parameters that are used as the input layer of the neural network model are Longitude, Latitude, Energy E, Energy J, and Stress Drop. The goal of the study is to develop a neural network model that can accurately predict earthquake data across the board.
