Description:
〈span〉〈div〉Abstract〈/div〉We performed a comprehensive statistical analysis over six functional expressions of frequency–magnitude distributions (FMDs). We tested the goodness of fit on the basis of the Kolmogorov–Smirnov criterion, and performed a model selection using the Akaike information criterion over 15,000 subcatalogs spanning different sizes and covering different areas of the world. Results showed that the FMD proposed by 〈a href="https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/bssa#rf5"〉Ogata and Katsura (1993)〈/a〉 usually performs better than the others even if, in general, it would be appropriate to check the goodness of fit and do a model selection using statistical tools.〈/span〉
