Abstract
A high resolution smoothing method is proposed for performing local estimates of the parameters of the Gutenberg-Richter law (GR). Using this method, the smoothing radius can be chosen large enough to ensure that the condition of applicability of GR law is met, while the distinguished areas of high activity align well with the distribution of epicenters and there is no “smearing” of narrow areas of really high seismic activity into wider zones, which are not actually active at the edges.
