- Present updated M-test based on Kilmogorov-Smirnov and Anderson-Darling statistics.
- Potential issue with distribution-based evaluations for catalogs containing few events.
- Optionally switch to magnitude-independent formulation (Chi-Square or M-test based on event counts in magnitude bins). Might incorporate correlations based on GR statistics.
- Developed figure showing the Mw relationships for stochastic event sets. This should likely be shown as a survival function instead.
- Poissonian error bars on MFD plots, would be larger for the larger events.
- If bins were independent we could get joint probability by multiplying probabilities, but in practice we have correlated errors.
- Roger Mussen talks about b-values and deals with these same issues, variations in MFD due to measured magnitudes. Looking at error distribution can define correlation function between magnitudes.
- In the synthetic test for true null hypothesis, empirical distribution should be the same as analytical.
- Comment about plots, should use the GR plots using the complimentary distribution. Probably should include errors in the catalog.
- Think about tests and show them in a presentable way to outsiders.
- Make poster for IUGG. Look up deadline, possible Feb. 18.
