Abstract
Even though the Poisson process has been widely used in the modelling of earthquake occurrences, it is well known that the temporal sequence of earthquakes in a given zone is not a sequence of independent events. In general the sequence has to be assumed to be a process with a memory of past events or, at least, non stationary.
