Abstract

In this paper we focus on the statistical distribution of time intervals between geomagnetic reversals. Recently the Tsallis distribution was pointed out as a possible alternative to previous proposals. We have performed statistical tests to further prove this and find the parameters of the Tsallis distribution that better fit the data. Additionally we have analyzed the correlation of time intervals between consecutive reversals to show the presence of memory effects on the mechanism that generates them, as could be expected for some Tsallis systems.
