Can you compare the strength and frequency method for predicting earthquakes?

The Strength and Frequency Method only predicts how often an earthquake of a particular magnitude will occur. The Gap Hypothesis only predicts where another earthquake is most likely to occur along a fault line. Neither method will predict where the next earthquake will occur in the world, or predict an earthquake happening in a random spot, or predict both the location and strength of an earthquake.
