A Map of southern California study area. B Non-cumulative distribution of difference in probability between the observed catalog and a randomized version, \(\delta P\left({m}_{0}\right)\), as a function of magnitude difference (\({m}_{0}\)), for the southern California catalog. \({m}_{c}=\) magnitude of completeness, n = number of events. Error bars correspond to the 1 standard deviation confidence interval. C Cumulative distribution of the difference in probability, \(\delta P\left({m}_{0}\right)\), for the southern California catalog before applying filters. D Same as C but after applying filters to address potential issues from catalog incompleteness. E Cumulative distribution for 3 areas of 10×10 km2 in southern California with pronounced seismicity, represented by solid black boxes in the southern California map.
