It appears that there is more that
follows:
Though numerous studies demonstrate that the composite temporal distribution of major earthquakes in the instrumental record is indistinguishable from random, the additional consideration of event renewal interval serves to identify earthquake groupings suggestive of synchronization that are absent in synthetic catalogs. We envisage the weak forces responsible for clustering originate from lithospheric strain induced by seismicity itself, by finite strains over teleseismic distances, or by other sources of lithospheric loading such as Earth's variable rotation. For example, quasi-periodic maxima in rotational deceleration are accompanied by increased global seismicity at multidecadal intervals.

There are, indeed, more words that follow the partial sentence I quoted. However, the words that follow it don't negate the truth of the quote. The quote stands: The observed "clusters" in the temporal record of major earthquakes are not distinguishable from random events. To me, this makes this whole 'cluster.......analysis' suspect.
