Universality of power-law exponents by means of maximum likelihood estimation
Víctor Navas-Portella, Álvaro González, Isabel Serra +2
Power-law type distributions are extensively found when studying the behaviour of many complex systems. However, due to limitations in data acquisition, empirical datasets often on…
Power-law size distributions in geoscience revisited
Álvaro Corral, Álvaro González
The size or energy of diverse structures or phenomena in geoscience appears to follow power-law distributions. A rigorous statistical analysis of such observations is tricky, thoug…
A way to synchronize models with seismic faults for earthquake forecasting: Insights from a simple stochastic model
Alvaro Gonzalez, Miguel Vazquez-Prada, Javier B. Gomez +1
Numerical models are starting to be used for determining the future behaviour of seismic faults and fault networks. Their final goal would be to forecast future large earthquakes.…
The occupation of a box as a toy model for the seismic cycle of a fault
Alvaro Gonzalez, Javier B. Gomez, Amalio F. Pacheco
We illustrate how a simple statistical model can describe the quasiperiodic occurrence of large earthquakes. The model idealizes the loading of elastic energy in a seismic fault by…
