[PDF][PDF] Pareto models for the energy released in earthquakes

M Felgueiras, R Santos, JP Martins - WSEAS Transactions on Power …, 2020 - wseas.com
In this paper we explore Pareto based distributions to deal with the energy released by the
major seisms. This is a relevant problem because great earthquakes can cause heavy …

Searching for the corner seismic moment in worldwide data

M Felgueiras, R Santos, JP Martins - AIP Conference Proceedings, 2015 - pubs.aip.org
In this paper the existence of the corner frequency value for the seismic moment distribution
is investigated, analysing worldwide data. Pareto based distributions, usually considered as …

Alternative heavy tailed models in seismology

M Felgueiras, J Martins, R Santos - Journal of Physics …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Great earthquakes are commonly considered as the ones with moment magnitude (M w)
above or equal to 8.0. Since these earthquakes can destroy entire communities located near …

Pareto Randomization of the Scaling Parameter for the Gaussian Distribution

M Felgueiras, R Santos, JP Martins - International Journal of …, 2021 - dergipark.org.tr
Gaussian distribution is a common choice when dealing with symmetric data. However,
other alternatives must be considered in applications with high tail-weight. One option is the …
