Magnitude Type Conversion Models for Earthquakes in Turkey and Its Vicinity with Machine Learning Algorithms

İngilizce (OpenAlex)

In this study, three new regression models are created for magnitude-type conversion with different machine learning algorithms (linear regression, regression trees, support vector machines, Gaussian process regression models, ensembles of trees) by using the earthquakes (M ≥ 4.0) that occurred in Turkey (1900–2020). Additionally, eight new equations are formed with linear and orthogonal regression methods. Developed equations and models are compared to equations selected from the literature by test data. As a result of the study, it is observed that machine learning algorithms create better models and provide results closer to the real values than created and selected equations.
