Mar 1, 2026March 2026 (gem/oq-engine): Delivered critical modeling enhancements, strengthened numerical stability, and expanded validation coverage to accelerate credible risk insights and reduce maintenance risk. Key work includes integration of a truncated MVN sampler with separate truncation levels for between-event and within-event residuals, PSD regularization for non-PSD correlation matrices, and the Holmgren et al. 2024 GMM for Southeastern Africa with associated tests. Architectural improvements introduced a dedicated matrix regularization utilities module to break circular imports and streamline cross-module imports. Expanded test data and regression coverage across multiple scenarios (QA data, landslides, liquefaction, embodied carbon) with Linux-compatible data and macOS adjustments to stabilize CI. These changes collectively increase modeling flexibility, accuracy, and maintainability while delivering tangible business value in risk assessment reliability.
