Abstract: With improvement of geoelectrical field observation technology, there is a great deal of tectonic information in high-frequency sampling observational data. How to extract useful earthquake precursor from these data is a key problem. We introduced the PDF(probability density function)method, analyzed the observational data of 9 geoelectrical stations near the epicenter of the Lushan MS7.0 earthquake and Minxian and Zhangxian MS6.6 earthquake. The results show that three geoelectrical data had high-frequency anomalies before the two earthquakes. On the basis of these results, we considered that PDF method has certain reliability and applicability to extract the high-frequency anomaly information from geoelectrical observational data.
