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

values

Private Methods

Warning

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().
