Prediction Methods
Earthquake prediction, as a branch of seismology, is an immature science in the sense that it cannot predict from first principles the location, date, and magnitude of an earthquake. Research in this area therefore seeks a reliable basis for predictions in either empirically derived precursors, or some kind of trend or pattern.

Famous quotes containing the words prediction and/or methods:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
“I think it is a wise course for laborers to unite to defend their interests.... I think the employer who declines to deal with organized labor and to recognize it as a proper element in the settlement of wage controversies is behind the times.... Of course, when organized labor permits itself to sympathize with violent methods or undue duress, it is not entitled to our sympathy.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
