  2. Abstract. We discuss the application of the negative binomial distribution (NBD) to approximate earthquake numbers in earthquake catalogs. Kagan (1973a,b) derived the NBD for the model of earthquake occurrence as the 'birth and immigration' population process. In particular, a point branching process along the magnitude (or seismic moment) axis with independent events (immigration) explains both the magnitude/moment frequency relation and the NBD of earthquake counts in large time/space windows as well as the dependence of the NBD parameters on the magnitude threshold. There are many different representations of the NBD, but most of them can be traced either to the Pascal distribution or to the mixture of the Poisson distribution with the gamma law. We discuss advantages and drawbacks of both representations in the statistical analysis of earthquake catalogs and the application of the NBD for earthquake forecasts. In contrast to the one-parameter Poisson distribution, which is widely used to describe the earthquake occurrence, the NBD has two parameters; the second parameter can be used to characterize the clustering or over-dispersion of a process (Kagan and Jackson, 2000). We determine the parameter values and their uncertainties for several local and global (CMT and PDE) catalogs, and their subdivisions in various time intervals, magnitude thresholds, spatial windows, and tectonic categories. These parameter values can be used in earthquake forecasting as it is now implemented in the CSEP. The theoretical model of the clustering parameter dependence on the corner (maximum) magnitude can be used to predict the future earthquake number distribution in regions where no very large earthquakes has yet occurred.

  10. Stochastic models of earthquake occurrence and forecasting • Long-term models for earthquake occurrence, optimization of smoothing procedure and its testing (Kagan and Jackson, 1994, 2000). • Empirical branching models (Kagan, 1973a,b; Kagan and Knopoff, 1987; Ogata, 1988, 1998; Kagan, 2006). • Physical branching models – propagation of earthquake fault is simulated (Kagan and Knopoff, 1981; Kagan, 1982).

  14. Challenges • We need to start by investigating how different branching models of seismicity approximate global earthquake catalogs. • Global catalogs have an advantage of being considerably less inhomogeneous in time and space than local catalogs, and there are no spatial boundary effects which greatly complicate the analysis of local catalogs. • Local seismicity is controlled by a few aftershock sequences of strong events. • It is important, however, to analyze local catalogs as well to see that model parameter values are similar for worldwide and local catalogs. • See http://bemlar.ism.ac.jp/wiki/index.php/Bird%27s_Zones
