abstract = {Seismic occurrence is characterized by clustering in
space, time and magnitude. Correlations between magnitudes
of subsequent events have been recently attributed to catalog
incompleteness. Here we investigate the effect of catalog
completeness on the amplitude of magnitude correlations.
The analysis of two California regions with different levels
of catalog accuracy and different lower magnitude thresholds
indicate that the amplitude of correlations does not depend
on catalog incompleteness. Conversely, correlations are
controlled by the probability that two events belong to the
same mainshock-aftershock sequence. Numerical simulations
of the ETAS model, where magnitude correlations are
absent by construction, provide a counter-test supporting
our conclusions.}
