Description How to search for reliable precursors is one of the key problems of study on earthquake forecast. There are many groups working at international and national level on this problem. The VAN method, named after the initials of Professors P. Varotsos, K. Alexopoulos and K. Nomicos, stands out as a notable exception in that it has been actually making short-term predictions (Varotsos, 2005, Varotsos). A wide variety of phenomena, including seismological, geodetic, geochemical, hydrological, electromagnetic or even meteorological and biological phenomena, has been postulated to be potential precursors. Except for a few cases like Haisheng prediction, however, there has practically been no success but frequent failures. Similarly, at the national level, group of researchers have looked into the ionosphere perturbation caused by some major earthquake. They observed Ionospheric variations using DEMETER satellite during strong earthquakes (Sarkar et al., 2007; Singh et al., 2004; Singh et al., 2003). In this proposal, we propose a method to judge whether or not a precursor is reliable. Before a potential anomaly can be nominated as a reliable precursor, it should pass or be proved by the following tests or analyses: whether or not it is an artificial anomaly, whether or not it correlates with an investigated event, whether or not it is a random anomaly.
