英文摘要	Large earthquakes could perturb the stress field in regions even thousands of kilometers away, leading to abrupt changes in background seismicity. We have developed a probability-based approach, based on the epidemic-type aftershock sequence model and the stochastic declustering method, to invert the smoothed temporal variation of background seismicity rate and to extract useful physical signals from complex seismicity patterns. An iterative algorithm is constructed to estimate the background seismicity simultaneously by using a combination of maximum likelihood estimate and weighted variable kernel estimate. We verify this approach through simulations and confirm that it can sensitively recover the onset of dynamic triggering. The algorithm is applied to an earthquake catalog in Yunnan Province, China, and successfully identifies a rapid increment of background seismicity rate following the occurrence of the 2004 Sumatra Mw 9.2 earthquake, whereas no remote triggering effect is detected following the occurrence of the 2005 Sumatra Mw 8.7 earthquake. This phenomenon agrees with GPS observations. It is found that the elevated seismic activity within 15 d after the Sumatra earthquake is mostly composed by shallow events, and direct triggering relationship is well established. Our approach also provides a way to detect the existence of other underlying physical processes based on catalog information.; Geochemistry & Geophysics; SCI(E); EI; 0; ARTICLE; 3; 1734-1740; 189
