Hi
I am aware ,when I write this, that the major quake(6.8) on 9th November at 0149 GST ,is 1 hr and 49minutes outside window.
However, look at the magnitude.
Siesmologist and scientists predict quakes in terms of years or may be centuries

Amit;

There were quakes on the 1st, 4th, 9th and 10th of this month and you missed all of them.

I have posted on 3rd ,so 1st and 4th can not be counted. It is like I loose a race with ,I did not participated.
9th is 1 hr 49 minutes late
Yes10th ,you can say is not pridicited.
I think, dates which are predicted and missed are real miss ,rather quakes on dates which are not posted/predicted

Amit;

True, predictions without quakes are missed predictions.

But quakes without predictions are predictions you failed to make.

A hit prediction

Roger Hunter said...

Amit;

Yes, a date hit.

So far 4/11 quakes in 2/4 windows.

Just chance.

Roger

AMIT said...

Hi
One more quake.
6.3 at Iran Iraq boarder on 25th
Amit

Roger Hunter said...

Amit;

Yes.

Now 6/12 quakes in 2/4 windows.

Coin toss odds

Roger

Roger Hunter said...

Amit;

I determined the odds that a 3 day window chosen at random would contain a 6+ quake.

It turns out to be .204 based on the record from 1973 to 2016 inclusive.

This means you should only get 1/4 (roughly) correct so you're doing better than chance
but not enough to matter. Multiple quakes don't count because you don't predict them.

Your predictions are not useful because you don't give locations and there's only a
20% chance that the predicted date will be correct.

My results for current year is 26 hits out of 41 predictions.
Much better than chance
First think first, let us believe that ,the major quakes can be predicted.
LocstionL will come next

It is 6.15 am here in Mumbai,India ,now.
I am on my morning walk.This is being posted while on move ,so some typing errors are there.
I am sorry for that
Amit

Roger Hunter said...

Amit;

How are you counting this?

Are you saying that 26 of your 41 predictions had one or more quakes in them
or are you saying 26 quakes were included in your 41 predictions?

It makes a big difference.

Roger

AMIT said...

Roger
Yes.
There are 41 dates ,which I have posted in this year ,till November
Out of which 26 dates have one or more 6+ quakes in the window period
Amit

Roger Hunter said...

Amit;

Congratulations! There is no way that result could be due to chance.

What puzzles me is that past tests on you have shown no such results.

Ordinarily, I would suspect cheating of some sort but that's impossible here since all your predictions are posted publicly and in advance.

Have you changed your method recently in some way?

I'll be doing a year by year examination to get a larger sample and if it holds up you'll be the first to pass my evaluation.

Roger

AMIT said...

Roger
Thanks
Yes
Change is not basically in method but choosing dates between two probable dates.
I will send you mail ,as soon as I compiled it month wise/ Year wise
It is done purely by physical check
