An approach combining a parametric and a non-parametric methodology are tested for the instrumental seismicity, in two of the most active extensional fault zones in Greece (Corinth gulf and Mygdonia basin) that accommodate intense seismicity with devastating events. The non-parametric approach refers to the "smoothed bootstrap test for modality and bump-hunt test" for unveiling possible complex distribution characteristics. The input data regard complete and declustered seismicity catalogs (M≥MC) for the time interval: August 2008 - October 2014. The test is based upon setting the null hypotheses that the distributions of interevent time and magnitude are unimodal. A multimodal distribution is evidenced in most cases where clustering of earthquakes is dominant. When multimodality is identified, the next target is to define the exact locations of modes and bumps. The results are interpreted in terms of the seismotectonic properties of the fault populations in each area and earthquake clustering. date: 2015-04 date_type: published publisher: Greek Statistical Institute pagerange: 385-399 pages: 385 event_type: conference book_title: Proceedings of the 28th Panhellenic Statistics Conference official_url: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/302329360_INVESTIGATION_OF_EARTHQUAKE_MAGNITUDE_AND_INTEREVENT_TIME_DISTRIBUTION_IN_CORINTH_GULF_AND_MYGDONIA_BASIN_WITH_THE_USE_OF_STOCHASTIC_TOOLS access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher citation: Gkarlaouni, Charikleia and Lasocki, Stanislaw and Papadimitriou, Eleftheria E.
