Time window to constrain the corner value of the global seismic-moment distribution
Alvaro Corral, Isabel Serra
It is well accepted that, at the global scale, the Gutenberg-Richter (GR) law describing the distribution of earthquake magnitude or seismic moment has to be modified at the tail t…
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…
The Mean/Max Statistic in Extreme Value Analysis
Paul Rochet, Isabel Serra
Most extreme events in real life can be faithfully modeled as random realizations from a Generalized Pareto distribution, which depends on two parameters: the scale and the shape.…
The full-tails gamma distribution applied to model extreme values
Joan del castillo, Jalila Daoudi, Isabel Serra
In this article we show the relationship between the Pareto distribution and the gamma distribution. This shows that the second one, appropriately extended, explains some anomalies…
