Popis:	The generalized logistic equation is derived to model kinetics and statistics of natural processes such as earthquakes, forest fires, floods, landslides, and many others. The general solution of this equation for q=1 is a product of an increasing bounded function and power-law function with stretched exponential cut-off; the power-law distribution is asymptotically nested in the stretched exponential distribution. The relation with Tsallis non-extensive statistics is demonstrated by solving the generalized logistic equation for q>0. In the case 01 it models sub-additive structures. The Gutenberg-Richter G-R) formula results from interpretation of empirical data as a straight line in the area of stretched exponent with small {\alpha}. The solution is applied for modeling distribution of foreshocks and aftershocks in the regions of Napa Valley 2014, and Sumatra 2004 earthquakes fitting the observed data well, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
