Specifically, we use it to find the minimal threshold of casualty numbers for which the hypothesis of equal distribution of the two datasets can not be rejected.
While they show the best visual agreement with respect to casualty counts for a threshold of 2 (Figure 4(b), upper right panel), the corresponding events per month statistics differ markedly (Figure 4(a), upper right panel).
Note, however, that a threshold of 15 casualties already selects only a very small subset of events from the whole dataset - less than 300 in IBC and less than 160 in SIGACT for the whole 5 years of data, i.e., less than 3%and0.8%8% correspondingly.
Definitions of civil war are not standardised, but they generally entail a specified threshold number of casualties over a time period within a defined context of rebellion [ 57, 58].
The high local density of large general hospitals with very busy casualty departments and the high local threshold for admission are each factors which may influence local CRT practices.
(a) shows the results for the full datasets and (b) for threshold equal to 3 casualties per event.
"The second threshold is the number of casualties in the most recent similar situation, in 1991".
Her previous partner, the pro-business Free Democrats, were a major casualty of the vote, falling below the minimum 5 percent threshold for entering Parliament.
Since the casualty counts in IBC are significantly larger for these thresholds, this appears to suggest that overall IBC systematically reports more casualties than SIGACT.
For this we proceeded as follows: For a given threshold, we select from both datasets only events with casualty counts greater or equal than a given threshold.
Finally, we observed that a 20% exceedance probability national threshold was capable of predicting all the rainfall-induced landslides with casualties between 1996 and 2014, and we suggest that this threshold can be used to forecast fatal rainfall-induced landslides in Italy.
