Estimating the Magnitude of Completeness of Earthquake Catalogs Using a Simple Random Variable Transformation

The estimation of the magnitude of completeness for a seismic catalog is the starting point for most of the seismological statistical analyses. It is important, in particular, for the estimation of the Gutenberg–Richter (GR) law parameters. This law corresponds to an exponential distribution of the...
