• Presented M-test notes here: https://github.com/SCECcode/csep2/blob/master/notes/m_test_notes.ipynb
• Need to correct KS critical value computation for discrete distributions.
• Try binning data before computing ECDF.
• Distinction between two-types of tests:
  • Operational Tests: Used to communicate model results.
  • Developmental Tests: More severe tests used to aid in model development.
    • Cumulative N-test visualization.
    • M-test visualization with error bars around binned data.
• Important to understand the deficiencies of the catalog, ie the data are of limited accuracy.
