v0.0.7

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

[0.0.7] - 2025-04-18 - Bug Fixes and Plotting Enhancements

Added

• Added checks to ensure that minmag is passed correctly when calling the recurrence interval estimation function (estimate_recurrence_interval()).
• Added graceful error handling for missing data when plotting earthquake frequency per year.
• Included a message indicating whether the estimated probability of a major earthquake is HIGH or LOW, based on the calculated recurrence interval.
• Enhanced the --plot functionality to only attempt plotting if there is valid data.

Changed

• Fixed TypeError by ensuring minmag is always passed as an argument for estimate_recurrence_interval().
• Improved the error messages related to plotting when there is no data or matplotlib is not installed.
• Refined the logic for plotting earthquake frequencies to handle cases where the data is empty or unavailable.

[0.0.3] - [0.0.6] - 2025-04-18 - Added Recurrence Interval Estimation

Added

• Added estimate functionality for predicting the recurrence interval and probability of future major earthquakes (≥ 6.0 magnitude).
• Estimated the mean recurrence interval based on historical earthquake data.
• Calculated the estimated probability of a major earthquake occurring in the next year.
• Estimate output now included in the terminal results, providing a more thorough analysis.

Changed

• Enhanced output with estimated recurrence interval and probability if --estimate flag is used.
• Updated the command-line interface to include --estimate for automatic estimation of recurrence intervals.

[0.0.2] - 2025-04-18 - Added location filtering

Added

• Added location filtering by city, state, or country.
• Added radius filtering.
• Added export to CSV.
• Added plot of quake frequency per year.

[0.0.1] - 2025-04-18 - Initial release

Added

• Initial release of quake-analyzer.
• Core functionality to fetch, filter (magnitude, region), analyze (recurrence, frequency), and export (CSV) earthquake data from USGS.
• CLI interface with various command-line options.
• Optional plotting of quake frequency per year using Matplotlib.
• Basic project structure, README, LICENSE (MIT).
• Setup for packaging using pyproject.toml and setup.py.
• GitHub Actions for CI (linting) and automated PyPI publishing on release.
• Full Changelog: v0.0.7...v0.0.7
