A Bayesian model for truncated regression for the estimation of empirical ground-motion models

NM Kuehn, T Kishida, M AlHamaydeh… - Bulletin of Earthquake …, 2020 - Springer
We present a Bayesian model for the estimation of ground-motion models that allows one to
account for truncated data. Truncated data occurs in ground-motion model development …

Empirical model for frequency content estimation of strong ground motion records of Iran

Selection and modification of ground motion prediction equations for makran subduction zone, southeast Iran

H Zafarani, MR Soghrat - Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2021 - Springer
Abstract The Iranian Plateau is considered mostly as a shallow crustal area, except the
Makran region in southeast Iran where subduction events can occur. Because of the tectonic …

Selection and Modification of Ground Motion Prediction Equations in Different Tectonic Regions of Iran considering Declustered and Non-declustered Earthquake …
