Abstract: We analyze, by means of the nonparametric estimation of the hazard function, the distribution of the earthquake occurrences in two regions of Spain. First, we present the method of estimation and the framework, and next we compare the seismic risk in the region of Galicia (northwest of Spain) with the southern region of Spain. We use the data catalog of earthquakes provided by the National Geographic Institute (IGN) of Spain.
