1. INTRODUCTION
Earthquakes, as one of the most devastating natural disasters, strike suddenly, inflicting widespread
damage to structures and tragically claiming lives [1], [2]. Numerous research efforts have explored the
potential for earthquake prediction through the examination of various precursory signals, including animal
behaviour, temperature fluctuations, radon gas emissions, seismic activity alterations, and related indicators
[3], [4]. However, due to the inconsistent presence of these precursory indicators before each seismic event,
the standardization of forecasting approaches remains a significant challenge [5]. Inaccurate forecasts in many
existing methods contribute to the devastating consequences of earthquakes [2]. Radon gas has long been
considered a potential early indicator of earthquakes [6]–[12]. Yet a comprehensive prediction system
specifying the date, time, magnitude, and precise location of impending earthquakes remains [2], [9]–[12].
Recently, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven approaches have shown promising advancements in
earthquake prediction, surpassing traditional methods in accuracy. These techniques leverage machine learning
to analyze diverse data sources, including animal behaviour, weather patterns, groundwater levels, chemical
changes, and seismic activity, enabling the identification of potential warning signs before earthquakes occur.
AI-based methodologies are currently helpful for earthquake prediction, emphasizing its potential to improve
preparedness and response strategies in at-risk areas [2], [13]–[18]. While short-term earthquake prediction
with specific magnitude and location remains a challenge, this study presents a unique approach for predicting
earthquakes with a magnitude above M4.5 in Indonesia between the Eurasian and Indo-Australian Plates [19].
Zhang’s study constructs four models to analyse the mechanisms of radon variation under natural and
seismic conditions using the extreme gradient boosting method. Analysis of the precursory mechanisms of
these radon anomalies found that radon anomalies are most likely caused by increases in radon emanation due
to the earthquake-induced formation of microfractures in rock [20]. Related works in the field of earthquake
prediction reveal diverse approaches and methodologies, each with its unique set of challenges and potential.
Walia’s assessment highlights the absence of a definitive model linking earthquakes and radon anomalies,
underscoring the ongoing need for further validation of proposed models [21]. On the other hand, the
application of belief rule-based expert system (BRBES) demonstrates the potential to anticipate earthquake
occurrences within a maximum of 12 hours, drawing upon data on animal behaviour, environmental shifts, and
chemical variations [13]. Contradicting the conventional four-stage prediction framework, research on the
Haicheng earthquake indicates that the observed rise in seismic activity preceding the event does not align with
the anticipated prediction stages [22]. Examining the seismic cycle based on historical data, an expert system
showcased the capability to detect 100% of earthquakes within 12 hours within specific parameters of range,
depth, and location, estimating magnitudes ranging from M3.6 to M9.1 across one-quarter of the Earth’s
surface [14]. Leveraging climate data, Hajikhodaverdikhan et al. [15] successfully predicts earthquakes near
Tabriz, Iran, boasting high accuracy and precision rates in monthly earthquake forecasts.
In the realm of earthquake prediction methodologies, machine learning and deep learning have
emerged as focal points, as evidenced by the application of various techniques such as pattern recognition
neural networks, recurrent neural networks, random forests, and linear programming boost ensemble
classifiers. These techniques have been separately employed to model the relationships between calculated
seismic parameters and forthcoming earthquakes with magnitudes greater than or equal to 5.5 within a one-
month prediction timeframe, though significant challenges persist in the integration of these models into
effective forecasting systems [16]. With the aid of the support vector regression method, climate data is utilized
to predict earthquake magnitudes in specific regions, achieving a precision rate of 96% for mean magnitude
forecasts and a high accuracy rate of 78% in projected monthly earthquake counts [15]. Conversely, the
application of linear regression in earthquake prediction through data mining, considering groundwater levels,
chemical changes, and radon gas in groundwater, has faced challenges in understanding the intricate interplay
of these factors without rigorous empirical investigation [18].
Reflecting on the utility of AI in earthquake prediction, Banna’s discussion emphasizes the effective
forecasting of earthquakes within specific magnitude ranges (M3 to M5), with limitations observed in
predicting high-magnitude events due to their relative rarity and unpredictable occurrence patterns. Notably,
significant errors in time and location prediction have been encountered, with deviations of up to 70 miles and
substantial variation in prediction time frames ranging from 20 days to 5 months [2]. Based on Tehseen et al.’s
study [19], the accuracy proposed expert system for making earthquake predictions using an independent test
set is shown in Table 1.

These findings underscore the complexity and inherent uncertainties associated with earthquake
prediction, driving the ongoing exploration and refinement of methodologies to enhance predictive accuracy
and reliability. The research trend has shifted towards machine learning and deep learning methodologies since
2018, marking a significant transition in earthquake prediction techniques [19]. Previous research has focused
on radon gas concentration fluctuations one to four days before an earthquake event based on Thomas Oka’s

earthquake date prediction method between the Eurasia and Indo-Australia plates in Indonesia [27]. The latest
research on predicting earthquake magnitudes using a linear regression technique has achieved the lowest
values across various evaluation metrics based on the radon gas fluctuation in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The
results include a standard deviation of 0.40, mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.30, mean absolute percentage
error (MAPE) of 6%, root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.52, mean squared error (MSE) of 0.28, symmetric
mean absolute percentage error (SMAPE) of 0.06, and cnSMAPE of 0.97.
There have been one to four days of earthquake date prediction before the event based on radon gas
concentration measurements near the Grindulu Fault in Pacitan, East Java, Indonesia. Still, the magnitude is
not yet predicted [27]. This research seeks magnitude prediction through radon gas concentration fluctuations
in the Eurasian and Indo-Australian Plates, focusing on earthquakes with magnitudes greater than M4.5, and
then implementing an earthquake early warning system based on the radon gas concentration. This study
discusses using the statistical method for magnitude prediction to improve the earthquake early warning
system, to reduce the risk of being affected by disasters, and to prepare emergency response actions.
2. METHOD
The radon gas telemonitoring system is installed near the active Grindulu fault in Pacitan, East Java,
Indonesia, in such a way that the system becomes most sensitive to earthquakes. The radon gas sensor is exactly
put in a controlled chamber for optimally achieving accurate data, which is approximately around the fault
area. The frequency of radon gas measurements is adjusted every 10 minutes to minimize the impact of
radiation emissions from Actinium and Thoron [28]. Figure 1 illustrates the overall architecture of the
monitoring system. The sensor readings are logged and sent continuously to an ESP32 microprocessor and
then to a cloud server, enabling real-time monitoring provided by an internet connection. The readings of the
concentration of the radon gas are logged securely to a dedicated storage server, from which the users can
retrieve them using a cloud-based interface. Besides, earthquake data analysis relies on safely stored radon
measurements and earthquake occurrence records to allow reliable monitoring and prediction capabilities.
The earthquake magnitude prediction algorithm is developed using statistical methods, employing
data from Radon clouds and earthquake occurrences. Performance evaluation of the model includes metrics
such as MAE, MAPE, RMSE, MSE, SMAPE, and cnSMAPE. The optimal model is selected for deployment
on a cloud server for earthquake prediction notifications.
Table 2 presents the dataset structure for radon gas concentration, arranged based on the methodology
developed by Pratama et al. [27]. Subsequently, detailed information regarding radon gas concentration and
earthquake activities was structured and tabulated systematically in Table 3 following Thomas Oka’s
framework. The training dataset consists of radon gas concentration data recorded during the prediction interval
of earthquake activities. Data were collected from 156 cases in the study area, of which 80% were utilized as
training data and 20% for predicting and testing earthquake magnitudes. Data structure and distribution align
closely with the method already established, which is standard and reliable for outcomes.
The algorithm for earthquake magnitude prediction is determined through stages starting from data
tabulation and synchronization until the performance evaluation values are obtained. The algorithm for each

station is determined by the flowchart shown in Figure 2. Subsequently, the data is computed to determine the
a value. A selection occurs when an earthquake date prediction is made using the existing algorithm. Various
combinations of a are tested to derive b, the characteristic coefficient. The next step is to establish the
relationship between b and c, where c represents the earthquake magnitude recorded by the earthquake
precursor telemonitoring station. This process results in a polynomial formula that defines the relationship
between b and c. The earthquake magnitude can be predicted by substituting b into this polynomial formula.
Following this, the performance evaluation of the predicted earthquake magnitudes is calculated. The
evaluation of the machine learning process encompassed metrics such as MAE, MAPE, RMSE, MSE, SMAPE,
and cnSMAPE.

Algorithms that have completed the determination stage are subsequently tested. The testing phase
occurred from April 1, 2022, to May 30, 2024, at the Pacitan radon gas concentration telemonitoring station. This
testing aims to identify the best algorithm according to the specified criteria. The best algorithm is then
implemented in the server cloud and sends the notification to Telegram via the Telegram API. Thus, earthquake
magnitude predictions can be automatically made based on the designed algorithm using radon gas concentration
measurements for one to four days later between the Eurasia and Indo-Australia Plates with a magnitude above M4.5.
We analyzed the error value during the model evaluation process, representing the disparity between
the actual and predicted magnitudes. Figure 3 presents the boxplot of the error evaluation for the data test.
Magnitude predictions using Gain 1A and Gain 2A models have a wide error distribution. All models have
outlier errors visible at points outside the quartile limits. In Gain 1A and Gain 2A, there are several significant
outliers, indicating that in some cases, the errors can be very large. The models with Gain 2B, Gain 3B, Gain
2C, and Gain 3C have error distributions for the first quartile (Q1) around 0.1-0.2 while for the third quartile
(Q3) around 0.3-0.4. The model using these gains has a relatively narrow IQR, indicating small, consistent,
and controlled errors. The box plot further strengthens the model’s ability to predict earthquake magnitude
with a relatively low error range.
Furthermore, to analyze the signs of deviations produced by regressors in their predictions, Figure 4
shows histograms of data test errors for every model. A positive error indicates that the prediction was lower
than the actual value, while a negative error indicates that the prediction was higher than the actual value. The
method prediction shows a higher quantity of negative errors than positive ones (negative bias), as can be
noticed in the histograms of Figure 4. Negative bias in the error frequency graph refers to the tendency of errors
to lean towards lower values than the actual magnitude values. In the error frequency graph context, negative
bias is reflected in a distribution of errors that tend to be too low or negative.
All models have the highest error frequency at -0.25. The Gain1A Figure 4(a) and Gain 2A error
distributions tend to be centered around -0.50 to 0.00, with a peak at -0.25, but for Gain 2A, it is slightly more
spread-out Figure 4(b). The Gain 2B Figure 4(c) and Gain 3B Figure 4(d) distributions are more centered, with
a frequency peak at -0.25 with a frequency of 10. Gain 2 B and Gain 3 B have the narrowest error distributions
with a frequency peak at -0.25 and a smaller error range, indicating more consistent predictions. Gain 2C
Figure 4(e) and Gain 3C Figure 4(f) showed a wider error range, with a more even distribution across the error
range, indicating that these predictions tend to be more variable and less consistent than Gain 2B and Gain 3B.
Overall, Gain 2B and 3B show more stable and consistent performance than the other gain configurations, with
smaller errors and a more centered distribution. This is in line with the results of the data test prediction
performance evaluation in Table 6.
Compared to other studies (Table 6) [13]-[17], [19], [29]-[49], magnitude predictions based on radon
gas cloud data are rare, mostly using seismic data. Machine learning is not always better than statistical methods
because machine learning methods use statistical calculations processed by machines/systems. The results of
earthquake magnitude prediction show a comparison of earthquake magnitude prediction accuracy with
differences in the main error metrics. The results of this research have a lower MAE and MAPE (0.30 and
0.06), indicating a smaller average absolute error and a more accurate percentage error than the research results
using machine learning (MAE 0.33 and MAPE 6.03%). However, the results had lower RMSE and MSE (0.51
and 0.26), indicating smaller overall squared errors and more consistent predictions. The magnitude prediction
results have identical SMAPE and cnSMAPE values (0.06 and 0.97), indicating similar performance in
symmetric percentage error. If the focus is on absolute error, the results of this research are superior. In contrast,
if the squared error is emphasized, the research results using machine learning methods are more optimal [42].

4. CONCLUSION
The research findings confirmed the efficacy of the statistical method in forecasting earthquake
magnitudes using radon cloud data with Gain 3B, achieving the lowest error values across several evaluation
metrics: MAE (0.30), MAPE (0.06), RMSE (0.55), MSE (0.30), SMAPE (0.06), cnMAPE (0.97), EAA (0.3),
and ERA (-0.11), demonstrating smaller errors and more centralized distribution. These findings confirm the
implementation of the statistical model in the server cloud of the earthquake early warning system, which can
provide more accurate and timely predictions above M4.5. By improving the accuracy of prediction, this model
enhances emergency preparedness, supports public education on safety measures, and equips responders with
tools to manage earthquake-related disasters. The findings of this research are a very strong foundation for
further developments in the field of refinement of forecasting models and strengthening early warning systems
to mitigate seismic events.
