The emphasis is on estimation of the maximum regional magnitude, Mmax, and the maximum magnitude, Mmax(T), in a future time interval T and quantiles of its distribution. Two estimators are suggested: an unbiased estimator with the lowest possible variance and a Bayesian estimator. As an illustration, these methods are applied for the estimation of Mmax and related parameters in California and Italy. date: 1996-06 date_type: published publication: Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America volume: 86 number: 3 publisher: Seismological Society of America pagerange: 691-700 refereed: TRUE issn: 0037-1106 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher citation: Pisarenko, Vladilen and Lyubushin, Alexey and Lysenko, V.
