An example of Bayesian updating of productivity parameter (a-value) for the 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule, Chile, earthquake. Immediately following the earthquake, the SZ-GENERIC region-specific a-value distribution can be used.

The probability distribution for the number of aftershocks, P(N), and the forecast can then be computed using the same procedures as for the generic model, using P_seq-spec(a) instead of P_generic(a).
