روش عددی پهنه بندی لرزه-زمین ساختی (مورد استان فارس)

To implement seismo-tectonic zoning , first the region was divided into some subdivisions with equal area . Then the seismo-tectonic data related to each subdivision were collected numerically . After that the data were analysed through principal component analysis (PCA) and Q-mode cluster analysis . The results of multivariate statistical analysis lead the researcher to a proposal for numerical method . The proposed method has the following features :                                                                     

 ۱- It resolves many of the problems with the non-numerical methods.                            

۲-It shows the general properties of numerical methods(e.g. , objectivity & stability) .   

۳-The idiosyncratic features of each zone can be represented numerically,e.g. using       R-mode cluster analysis .
