Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This work aims to develop approaches to processing and interpreting spectral entropy outcomes in the context of seismic data, as well as to establish a methodological foundation for subsequent integration into practical monitoring solutions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Shannon spectral entropy method in detecting and assessing short-term seismic events through a seismogram analysis. This method has demonstrated sensitivity to variations in the spectral characteristics of the registered signals. A threshold value for the increase in spectral entropy information has been pinpointed for reliable P-wave detection. The results could be applied in real-time automated seismic monitoring systems. In addition to the conventional spectral analysis techniques, the proposed methodology may serve as the input to the neural network models used in seismological applications.
