12 ETAS simulation problems:
1. Run-away simulation for large mainshocks. Mmax for subduction zones is in excess of 9.0. If we want to reproduce a catalog with the threshold 1.5, certain sequences may have billions of aftershocks. 2. There is a problem of missing events near the threshold (Sornette & Werner, JGR, 2005; Marzocchi & Zhuang, GRL, 2011). Ogata & Katsura (JGR, 2014) suggest that to obtain a catalog with the threshold M4, to avoid bias M2 events need to be simulated.
