differs from the measured e(tg) less than in the range examined, the error being larger for events lasting more than 900 days.

This is not a problem since the thirteen observed events which we use in our analysis last approximately from 34 to 102 days, so we are confident that no serious systematic error is induced by our approximation for &(tg).

For the same reason also the discontinuity in tg=300 dd has no effect on our analysis.

Now we have all we need to estimate the functions defined in Eqs.(18)) and (21)).

Without entering in details, the numerical integration and the following interpolation of the results have shown us that it is possible to write where the values of thecoefficients (dev,bev,Cev,dev) and (a,,0;,c;,d,) depend on the model considered.
