Seismic activities can be seen as the composition of background and clustering earthquakes.It is important to identify seismicity clusters from background events.Based on the Nearest Neighbour Distance algorithm proposed by Zaliapin, we use the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to fit its spatiotemporal distribution and use the probability corresponding
