Figure 2. Two examples of interevent-time probability distributions for California for
L = 100 km, Mmin = 3 and central
points: crosses
(36.7°, –121.3°); circles
(33.9°, –118.3°) with different fraction of mainshocks (Reasenberg
declustering: 74% and 30%). In (a) the distributions are compared with the fit
of the gamma distribution that yields a mainshock fraction of 47% and 11%,
respectively. In (b) the distributions are compared with the distribution of
long ETAS simulations with a mainshock fraction of 47% and 11%.
