Maximum entropy estimation of values at Mt. Etna: comparison with conventional least squares and maximum likelihood results and correlation with volcanic activity

The variations of the b coefficient in the frequency-magnitude relationship for earthquakes which occurred at Mt. Etna from 01/01/90 to 31/12/92 are analyzed; the completeness threshold for our earthquakes catalogue is M = 2.30. The b values calculated using the Maximum Entropy Principle (MEP) are c...
