| Zusammenfassung |
| We discuss what can be learned from catalogue data alone about the maximum magnitude of
earthquakes within a region in the context of a doubly truncated Gutenberg Richter law. We
consider present day catalogs as well as paleoseismic data. We show that present day catalogs
do not allow the estimation of of the maxmimum magnitude with sufficient confidence. The
results will be presented in the language of testing and of confidence intervals. This
sheds a new light on the parameter Mmax and its usefulness for hazard estimation. |
