Cluster analysis of earthquake hypocenters in Azerbaijan and surrounding territoriesThe research focuses on seismic events that occurred in Azerbaijan and adjacent territories, regions known for strong seismic activity. We analyze a catalog of recorded earthquakes between 2010 and 2023, extracting the locations of the earthquake hypocenters for study purposes. Using statistical methods and cluster analysis tools, we developed a procedure for partitioning hypocenter clusters. The procedure begins with estimates of the Morisita Index, which is suitable for preliminary assessment…
