        abstract = {Many clustering models imply two kinds of earthquakes:
spontaneous ones and those triggered by previous earth-
quakes. The pair ? wise links from earlier to later earthquakes
control the estimates of the clustering parameters. However,
earthquake catalogs are limited in time, space, and magnitude,
so that triggers of some cataloged earthquakes may be
unknown. Thus some links are unrecognized and some trig-
gered events appear spontaneous. Here we present a method
for identifying such earthquakes and reducing the bias from
missing links. We treat earthquakes probably affected by
missing links as potential triggers, but we exclude them in
evaluating modeled effects. We use an Epidemic ? type After-
shock Sequence (ETAS) model to examine specifics. The most
affected parameter is the proportion of spontaneous earth-
quakes. The most important missing links apparently follow
earthquakes below the magnitude threshold, before the start,
and outside the spatial boundaries of the catalog, in that order.}
