Statistical Trend Estimation

Inputs are the time series in PBO pos format, the dates and types of discontinuities (antenna, earthquakes, slow-slip events, swarms, station coordinates (used to get earthquakes-station distance).

analyze_tseri module of the QOCA
We estimate offsets associated with: - documented instrument changes (present in EPOS site log), noted as I or Instrument - earthquakes: such offsets are labelled as co-seismic in the offset json file, and as E (Earthquake) on the EPOS-GNSS products gateway.
