N2 - Catastrophic earthquakes may result in hundreds and thousands of casualties. For example, the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan caused 2,415 deaths and 11,305 injuries. With no direct stress/strain measurements on the rock beneath the ground surface, statistical analysis of historical earthquake data becomes one of the possible alternatives to help estimate the future earthquakes potentials, such as developing empirical relationships. Most previous studies evaluated earthquake potentials from fault rupture parameters using simple linear regression models. However, multiple regression analysis associated with more parameters is proved capable of reducing model error of empirical relationships, in otherwords, improving the accuracy of predictions. As a result, this study re-visited historical earthquake data in literature and proposed a new empirical model with multiple regression analysis.
