CSEP Floating Experiment application

CSEP Floating Experiments

An application to deploy reproducible and prospective experiments of earthquake forecasting

• Set up a testing experiment for your earthquake forecasts using authoritative data sources and benchmarks.
• Encapsulate the complete experiment's definition and rules in a couple of lines.
• Reproduce, reuse, and share forecasting experiments from you, other researchers and institutions.

Installing floatCSEP

The core of floatCSEP is built around the pyCSEP package (https://github.com/sceccode/pycsep), which itself contains the core dependencies.

Stable Release

The simplest way to install floatCSEP is by creating a conda environment (https://conda.io - checkout Anaconda or Miniforge) and install floatCSEP from conda-forge

conda create -n $NAME -y
conda activate $NAME
conda install -c conda-forge floatcsep -y

Latest version

Clone and install the floatCSEP source code using pip

conda create -n $NAME -y
conda activate $NAME
git clone https://github.com/cseptesting/floatcsep
cd floatcsep
pip install .

Please read the Installation documentation for detailed instructions and additional installation methods.

Run an Experiment

Using the command terminal, navigate to an example experiment in floatcsep/tutorials/ and type

floatcsep run config.yml

A runtime directory will be created in a results folder. The experiment results can be visualized in results/report.md. Check out the experiment, models and tests definition in the tutorials!

Roadmap and Known Issues

• Create tool to check a TD model's interface with floatcsep
• Define a dependency strategy to ensure experiments' reproducibility (e.g., storing docker image).
• Implement spatial database and HDF5 experiment storage feature
• Set up task parallelization
• Document the process of an experiment deployment
