A statistical approach for the integrated analysis of mine-induced seismicity and numerical stress estimates, a case study-Part I: developing the relations

The results of this part of the study indicated that it was possible by following this methodology to form meaningful and statistically significant relations between variables within these two databases. However, the results also suggested, at least for the data set analysed, that similar relations were formed regardless of whether rock mass failure was incorporated into the numerical models and roughly independent of the level of data set filtering. Elimination of these two aspects of the methodology will substantially simplify future analyses, although weaker relations will likely be formed.
