Here's what I want to do: take a few "snapshots" of the accelerometer data then find the median value of the said data. (That part I can do.) I will then calculate the magnitude of an assumed earthquake on the Richter scale. Then I will subtract any measurement error (ie, if the typical error in measurement is .5, and I calculate a magnitude of .7, I will just subtract .5 from .7, so according to my calculations the actual magnitude of a theoretical earthquake should be .2).
But, how do I calculate the magnitude of the earthquake?
