-# Example 8: Earthquake probabilities and rates
-
-__Working directory:__ `/path/to/nshmp-haz/etc/examples/8-probabilities`
-
-`nshmp-haz` can also calculate earthquake probabilities and rates at a location.
-As with the `HazardCalc` and `DisaggCalc` programs, `RateCalc` takes a model, a site data file
-or string, and an optional config file, which will control whether the distributions generated
-are incremental or cumulative, and whether the distribution values are expressed as annual rates
-or Poisson probabilities. The default (no config supplied) settings are for incremental
-annual-rates. The `config.rate` elements also specify the cutoff `distance`, within which
-all sources should be included, and a `timespan` used for conversion to Poisson probabilities.
-
-For this example, the following system alias is helpful:
-
-```Shell
-alias rate='java -Xms4g -Xmx8g -cp /path/to/nshmp-haz/build/libs/nshmp-haz.jar gov.usgs.earthquake.nshmp.RateCalc'
-```
-
-Assuming a copy of the CONUS NSHM is available (see [Example 5](../5-complex-model)), execute:
-
-```Shell
-rate ../../../../nshm-conus sites.csv config-sites.json
-```
-
-to generate incremental, annual-rate output for a list of sites, or
-
-```Shell
-rate ../../../../nshm-conus map.geojson config-map.json
-```
-
-to generate a map of cumulative Poisson probabilities (i.e. P ≥ M).
-
-Like `HazardCalc`, `RateCalc` observes the `config.output.dataTypes` `SOURCE`
-option and will include a `source` directory with rates or probabilities for all
-contributing source types.
-
-__Results directory structure:__
