"A method based on nonparametric statistics (hereafter called “median-\nbased analysis of the segment slope,” MBASS) is applied for the detection of change\npoints in frequency magnitude distributions (FMDs). The determination of the lowest\nmagnitude for which the Gutenberg–Richter relation still applies is a key point for\nthe computation of reliable b-values. The change-point detection method presented\nhere is used to determine automatically this threshold magnitude (called m 0 in this\nstudy) for large subsets extracted from four seismic catalogs. Results are successfully\ncompared to those of a previous benchmark study from other authors. Moreover, the\nMBASS procedure is able to detect a magnitude artifact in the FMDs of a regional\ncatalog. The results of the MBASS procedure confirm that a break in slope in a\ncumulative frequency distribution may be misleading when FMDs are analyzed by\neye."^^ . "2007" . . "97" . "5" . .
