Set1: Set2:
- Slip Rate: A proxy parameter that quantifies rate of long-term strain accumulation within a fault rupture area. It is used to estimate rate of seismic moment accumulation for the fault.
- b-Value: It controls the relative occurrences of small, medium, and large earthquakes in a GR distribution
- CH EQ magnitude: The mean magnitude of a normal magnitude distribution, SD of 0.24 unit of magnitude, to represent potential characteristic earthquakes on the fault
- % Moment-Release: It controls the relative amount of seismic moment release by earthquakes modeled as characteristic earthquakes versus those modeled by the GR distribution
To test the impact of individual parameters on magnitude-rate distribution, set Set2 parameters the same as those of Set1, then change the value of a single parameter to see the impact
