rate decay

Observed rate in log-spaced bins against Omori–Utsu fits made with the first 3, 30 and 120 days only, drawn across the whole window. Where a curve leaves the dots, the early fit extrapolated badly.

information gain

Per-event log-score difference from the Omori–Utsu law. Above zero: the model assigned more probability to what actually happened.

calibration

Randomised probability integral transform over all windows. Flat at 1 is calibrated; a U means intervals too narrow, a hump means too wide.

fitted parameters

Refitted at every origin on data up to that origin. A parameter on its search bound is flagged (Omori with an asterisk, ETAS by name): early in a sequence the catalog is still incomplete, the rate looks flat, and neither likelihood identifies its decay parameters — the optimum sits on a bound.
