With a simple correction, that is subtracting the relative completeness level to each magnitude, it becomes possible to use the classical approach. Moreover, this correction allows to adopt the testing procedures, initially made for catalogues with a single level of completeness, for catalogues with different levels of completeness too. | Description: | This article has been accepted for publication in Geophysical Journal International ©: 2021 The Author(s) 2020.
