The magnitude range (minimum and maximum magnitude assigned in the catalog) is shown in the screen (M range, Figure 32) for informative purposes.

Mmin: The User now is requested to chose the minimum magnitude (completeness level of the catalog). This can be done in two ways. The first is to type a single magnitude value in the empty box, possibly after he/she has performed an individual analysis (see MCE service). The second is to graphically select the minimum magnitude from the Normal or the Cumulative histograms, which are available after clicking on the respective tabs. In both cases there is option to alter the step of the histogram's bars and to select between linear and logarithmic Y-axis for the plotting.

Time range: The user may further filter the selected dataset by defining the starting and ending data of the period that he/she wishes to study. A calendar appears on the screen after clicking in the empty boxes next to "Start" and "End" fields (Figure 32). Note that this selection is optional. If no dates are entered, the entire dataset remains for the analysis.

Time unit: There are 3 options for this parameter, which are shown after clicking on the small arrow in the box: Day, Month, Year. The time unit will be stored and all the calculations hereinafter will be performed according to this unit.

Magnitude distribution estimation method: Four different methods are available in the IS-EPOS platform: The Unbounded Gutenberg-Richter, the Upper-bounded Gutenberg-Richter, the unbounded non-parametric and the Upper-bounded non parametric estimations. To select one of the aforementioned methods of analysis, the User has to click on the arrow in the respective box.

Time window step (days): In this field the User selects the time window step, i.e. the number of days between the starting dates of subsequent datasets (see figure 4 for details).

Magnitude: Magnitude for which the TDSH parameters will be calculated.Time window size: Size (span) of the windows containing data for the analysis (see below for details).

Method of creating windows: Two options are available at this field after clicking on the small arrow of the tab: "TIME" and "EVENTS". If "TIME" is selected, the given value corresponds to the duration of each dataset, in days. If "EVENTS" is selected instead, the given value corresponds to the number of events that each dataset contains (see figure 4 for details).

Time window size: Size (span) of the windows containing data for the analysis (see below for details).

After selecting all the parameters needed the User may click on the run button (blue tab - figure 32), for the calculation process to be initiated.
