Characterization of the tail of the distribution of earthquake magnitudes by combining the GEV and GPD descriptions of Extreme Value Theory

V. F. Pisarenko, A. Sornette, D. Sornette +1

We present a generic and powerful approach to study the statistics of extreme phenomena (meteorology, finance, biology...) that we apply to the statistical estimation of the tail o…

New Approach to the Characterization of Mmax and of the Tail of the Distribution of Earthquake Magnitudes

V. F. Pisarenko, A. Sornette, D. Sornette +1

We develop a new method for the statistical esitmation of the tail of the distribution of earthquake sizes recorded in the Worldwide Harvard catalog of seismic moments converted to…
