The Bayesian extreme-value distribution of earthquake occurrences has been used to estimate the seismic hazard in 12 seismogenic zones of the North-East Indian peninsula. The Bayesian approach has been used very efficiently to combine the prior information on seismicity obtained from geological...

The authors proved in [5] that the robust M- and L-estimators of location, which are independent of the extreme order statistics of the sample, cannot be admissible with respect to L1 risk in the class of translation equivariant estimators. This result is now extended in two respects: (i) We...
