Abstract: Authors have got the time-space scanning results of b values from 1970~1999 in North China, they analyzed in detail several elements influencing reliability of the results, and obtained fuzzy matrixes and fuzzy results as well. The results show that anomalous indices of b values cannot be determined in the whole time-space range of 2°×2° unit. However, when the seismic anomalous information is bigger than aseismic one, and the research ranges are selected considering the epicenter of earthquake with M≥5.0 and its neighboring area, b<0.65 can be taken as the anomalous indices.

Key words: b value, Fuzzy correlativity, North China
