Fig. 8From: Statistical study on the regional characteristics of seismic activity in and around Japan: frequency-magnitude distribution and tidal correlationThe difference between the mean of \({b}^{+}\) estimated using an earthquake with \(M\ge {M}_{\mathrm{min}}\) and the mean of \({b}^{+}\) when \({M}_{\mathrm{min}}={M}_{\mathrm{ref}}\). The results expected from the GR law for constant values of \(b\) are also shownBack to article page
