Mc-Lilliefors: a completeness magnitude that complies with the exponential-like Gutenberg–Richter relation

Herrmann, M. and W. Marzocchi (2020). Inconsistencies and Lurking Pitfalls in the Magnitude–Frequency Distribution of High-Resolution Earthquake Catalogs. Seismological Research Letters, 92(2A). doi: 10.1785/0220200337
in which we explore high-resolution earthquake catalogs and analyze whether their magnitude distribution complies with the exponential-like Gutenberg–Richter (GR) relation. (Spoiler: those catalogs do not preserve the exponential-like magnitude distribution, which characterizes ordinary catalogs, toward low magnitudes.)
Specificially, we estimate a lower magnitude cutoff, or completeness magnitude, Mc, that complies with the exponential-like distribution of the Gutenberg–Richter relation. Note that an exponential-like distribution above Mc is a necessary and sufficient condition to calculate the b-value of the Gutenberg–Richter relation (otherwise the physical meaning of the b-value becomes questionable). We use the Lilliefors test [Lilliefors 1969]1 as a statistical goodness-of-fit test with the exponential distribution to determine the lowest magnitude cutoff above which the magnitude is exponentially distributed, which we call McLilliefors. In other words, above McLilliefors, the magnitude–frequency distribution is consistent with the exponential-like Gutenberg–Richter relation.
The Jupyter notebook demo-Lilliefors-test.ipynb (can also be viewed at nbviewer.jupyter.org to render the interactive plot) demonstrates the principle of our method for one example catalog by making use of the Python code in mc_lilliefors.py (the class McLilliefors).

Marcus on Belief and Belief in the Impossible
Full text linkI review but don’t endorse Marcus’ arguments that impossible beliefs are impossible. I defend her claim that belief’s objects are, in some important sense, not the bearers of truth and falsity, discuss her dispositionalism about belief, and argue it’s a good fit with the idea that belief’s objects are Russellian states of affairs.
Reviso, pero no suscribo, los argumentos de Marcus a favor de que las creencias imposibles son imposibles.
Defiendo su tesis de que los objetos de las creencias no son, en algún sentido importante, los soportes
de la verdad y la falsedad; discuto su disposicionalismo acerca de las creencias y argumento que encaja bien
con la idea de que los objetos de las creencias son estados de cosas russellianos

No full textInhibition in the dynamics of selective attention: an integrative model for negative priming
Full text linkWe introduce a computational model of the negative priming (NP) effect that includes perception, memory, attention, decision making, and action. The model is designed to provide a coherent picture across competing theories of NP. The model is formulated in terms of abstract dynamics for the activations of features, their binding into object entities, their semantic categorization as well as related memories and appropriate reactions. The dynamic variables interact in a connectionist network which is shown to be adaptable to a variety of experimental paradigms. We find that selective attention can be modeled by means of inhibitory processes and by a threshold dynamics. From the necessity of quantifying the experimental paradigms, we conclude that the specificity of the experimental paradigm must be taken into account when predicting the nature of the NP effect
