Are different M = a + bI0 relationships due to a statistical bias?

Relationships between magnitude and macroseismic intensity are widely used, even though intensity is a non-metric observable. Several proposed relationships for the Italian and surrounding regions show a significant correlation of the parameters of the widely used functional form M = a + bI0 This co...
