obspy.core.event.origin.OriginUncertainty

class OriginUncertainty(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: obspy.core.event.base.__OriginUncertainty

This class describes the location uncertainties of an origin.

The uncertainty can be described either as a simple circular horizontal uncertainty, an uncertainty ellipse according to IMS1.0, or a confidence ellipsoid. If multiple uncertainty models are given, the preferred variant can be specified in the attribute preferred_description.

Parameters:
  • horizontal_uncertainty (float, optional) – Circular confidence region, given by single value of horizontal uncertainty. Unit: m
  • min_horizontal_uncertainty (float, optional) – Semi-minor axis of confidence ellipse. Unit: m
  • max_horizontal_uncertainty (float, optional) – Semi-major axis of confidence ellipse. Unit: m
  • azimuth_max_horizontal_uncertainty (float, optional) – Azimuth of major axis of confidence ellipse. Measured clockwise from South-North direction at epicenter. Unit: deg
  • confidence_ellipsoid (ConfidenceEllipsoid, optional) – Confidence ellipsoid
  • preferred_description (str, optional) – Preferred uncertainty description. See OriginUncertaintyDescription for allowed values.
  • confidence_level (float, optional) – Confidence level of the uncertainty, given in percent.

pop If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised.
popitem as a 2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.
setdefault
update If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E present and lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k, v in F.items(): D[k] = v

Private methods are mainly for internal/developer use and their API might change without notice.

_pretty_str Return better readable string representation of AttribDict object.
_repr_pretty_

Special Methods

__bool__
__contains__
__deepcopy__
__delattr__
__delitem__
__dir__ Default dir() implementation.
__eq__ Two instances are considered equal if all attributes and all lists are identical.
__format__ Default object formatter.
__getattr__ Py3k hasattr() expects an AttributeError no KeyError to be raised if the attribute is not found.
__getitem__
__getstate__
__init__
__init_subclass__ This method is called when a class is subclassed.
__iter__
__len__
__ne__
__new__ Create and return a new object.
__nonzero__
__reduce__ Helper for pickle.
__reduce_ex__ Helper for pickle.
__repr__
__setattr__ Custom property implementation that works if the class is inheriting from AttribDict.
__setitem__
__setstate__
__sizeof__ Size of object in memory, in bytes.
__str__ Fairly extensive in an attempt to cover several use cases.
__subclasshook__ Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass().
