Event Filter Events Tab
You cannot apply an event filter on a stochastic catalog for historical or world scenarios events.
You can specify particular events for a catastrophe peril analysis to consider, based on an event list or an event year. You can
-
Manually specify up to 100 events or event years.
Import sets of events or event years in a comma separated values (CSV) format.
Specify events or event years on the Events tab and then export those event filters to a CSV file.
Consider the following when defining event set filters:
The Touchstone event filters use only the first landfall details for events that make multiple landfalls.
If you define multiple filter criteria, the analysis considers only the events that meet all the criteria you have specified.
-
If the event filter that you have defined excludes all events, or the filters that you have specified are not supported for the event set that you are running, the analysis proceeds and may potentially return no losses.
You can define rules and location filters only for earthquakes, tropical cyclones, and terrorism events.
For Wind events, if you define a polygon, Touchstone filters the events by making sure that the first landfall point is within this polygon.
You can define filters by model ID and event ID for all perils.
Once you have defined a filter, click Apply to save your changes before defining additional filters.
The Events tab within the Event Filter window contains the following controls that enable you to define event set filters by model ID and event ID.
Field |
Description |
---|---|
By Event List |
Specifies that Touchstone should filter events to include only events for the model ID(s) and event ID(s) that you specify. You must select either this option or By Year To filter events to include a list of events, select this option and then select each desired Model ID and desired corresponding Event ID. You can specify up to 100 events, or you can import a list of events in CSV ormat. |
Model ID |
Specifies the model ID for this event filter. In the list, select the model and then enter the desired corresponding Event ID. |
Event ID |
Specifies the event ID for this event filter. This event ID identifies an event within the model that you have selected in the Model ID field. |
By Year (Event Year) |
Specifies that Touchstone should filter events to include only events for the year(s) that you specify. You must select either this option or By Event List. To filter events to include events for one or more specific years, select this option and then enter each desired event year. You can enter up to 100 event years, or you can import a list of event years in CSV format. |
Year |
Specifies the event year for this event filter. |
Delete selected items |
Enables you to delete the selected filter(s). To delete one or more filters on this tab, select all the filters that you want to delete and then click . |
Import |
Enables you to import an event list or event year list stored in a CSV file. An event list CSV file must include the model ID and event ID that uniquely identify each desired event, using the following format for each line within the file: Model ID,Event ID A CSV file containing an event year list includes each desired event year on a separate line. To import an event list or an event year list:
Note:
If you import an event list, the information that you import replaces any event list information that you have already entered. If you import an event year list, the information that you import replaces any event year list information that you have already entered. |
Export |
Enables you to export an event list or event year list to a CSV file. To export an event list or event year list:
