Estimation of the Maximum Earthquake Magnitude, mmax
This paper provides a generic equation for the evaluation of the maximum earthquake magnitude mmax for a given seismogenic zone or entire region. The equation is capable of generating solutions in different forms, depending on the assumptions of the statistical distribution model and/or the available information regarding past seismicity. It includes the cases (i) when earthquake magnitudes are...
متن کاملA Bayesian perspective on magnitude estimation.
Our representation of the physical world requires judgments of magnitudes, such as loudness, distance, or time. Interestingly, magnitude estimates are often not veridical but subject to characteristic biases. These biases are strikingly similar across different sensory modalities, suggesting common processing mechanisms that are shared by different sensory systems. However, the search for unive...
متن کاملBayesian Maximum a Posteriori Multiple Testing Procedure
We consider a Bayesian approach to multiple hypothesis testing. A hierarchical prior model is based on imposing a prior distribution π(k) on the number of hypotheses arising from alternatives (false nulls). We then apply the maximum a posteriori (MAP) rule to find the most likely configuration of null and alternative hypotheses. The resulting MAP procedure and its closely related step-up and st...
متن کاملDASTWAR: a tool for completeness estimation in magnitude-size plane
Today, great observatories around the world, devote a substantial amount of observing time to sky surveys. The resulted images are inputs of source finder modules. These modules search for the target objects and provide us with source catalogues. We sought to quantify the ability of detection tools in recovering faint galaxies regularly encountered in deep surveys. Our approach was based on com...
متن کاملBayesian approach to maximum likelihood estimation
Suppose that we start with a “prior” probability distribution g(θ) on parameters, which represents our knowledge (such as the frequencies of the 4 different nucleotides in the DNA of a given species) before running an experiment. Next, we run an experiment (e.g., sequencing a particular segment of DNA), and observe an outcome x. Bayes’s rule tells us that P (θ|x) = P (x|θ)g(θ) P (x) . In the ra...
