Analysis of Gutenberg-Richter b-value and mmax
Part I: Exact Solution of Kijko-Sellevoll Estimator of mmax
Keywords:
Mmax - b-value, Gutenberg-Richter distribution function, Kijko-Sellevoll estimator, seriesAbstract
This report is the first of a series of three which have the main goal to achieve a method to estimate the parameters b and mmax that are essential when Gutenberg-Richter law is used for seismic hazard assessment.
We give the exact solution of Kijko-Sellevoll approach to estimateand also a new method to calculate mmax applying series. It proved to be numerically more stable even in the cases when wide range of magnitudes or large catalogue is used.
