The greater the more accurate prediction of EQ. 2Minimum Distance: Horizontal distance of nearest Station measured in Km from epicenter. The smaller the more accuracy in prediction of depth of EQ.3Travel Time Residual: A way of measurement of fit of arrival time observed to arrival time predicted for particular location. The smaller the better fit of data. 4Azimuthal Gap: Expressed in degree; the smaller the smaller the error in horizontal positioning of EQ. Large uncertainty is considered when exceeds 180° (both depth and location)
