Four sets of attenuation equations are developed (i.e., 2 crustal regions × 2 magnitude scales). The associated uncertainties are derived by considering the uncertainties in parameter values, as well as those uncertainties associated with the ground-motion model itself. Comparison to data shows a reasonable agreement. Comparison to other attenuation functions for the region shows consistency with most attenuation functions in current use. This content is PDF only.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
