Extra notes and figures for Silwal and Tape (2016)

This PDF serves as a supplement to the paper “Seismic moment tensors and estimated uncertainties in southern Alaska” (Silwal and Tape, 2016; https://doi.org/10.1002/2015JB012588) and the ScholarWorks collection (http://hdl.handle.net/11122/6025).

It contains additional technical notes addressing the following aspects:

• Occurrence of a local minimum in the misfit near −M₀
• Variation in confidence parameter, Pav, with the choice of reference moment tensor
• Dependence of Pav on the misfit scaling parameter, k
• Effect of using different velocity model
• Effect on Pav when timeshifts are not allowed 
• Effect of varying number of stations on Pav
