• Composite Ground-Motion Models and Logic Trees: Methodology, Sensitivities, and Uncertainties (2005, background): “Although this seems to be a philosophical issue at first glance, its consequences are not, since the issue is intimitely linked to the question of which hazard curve (mean, median, or other quantiles) should be used ( Abrahamson and Bommer, 2005 ).”
• Seismic Hazard Assessment: Issues and Alternatives (2011, background): “This can explain why the most important effort in current PSHA practice is on how to count, re-count, and split uncertainties, but not on earthquake physics and statistics (SSHAC, 1997; ABRAHAMSON and BOMMER, 2005; MCGUIRE et al., 2005; MUSSON, 2005; BOMMER and ABRAHAMSON, 2006; STRASSER et al., 200”
• On the Use of Logic Trees for Ground-Motion Prediction Equations in Seismic-Hazard Analysis (2005, background): “…of how they should be harvested; although this is beyond the scope of this article, we believe that the mean hazard curve is the least appropriate fruit of the logic tree to be used as the basis for engineering design and that some fractile should be selected instead (Abrahamson and Bommer, 2005).”
• Criteria for Selecting and Adjusting Ground-Motion Models for Specific Target Regions: Application to Central Europe and Rock Sites (2006, background): “This whole issue has recently been started to be discussed in a number of opinion papers to which we refer the interested reader (Abrahamson and Bommer, 2005; McGuire et al., 2005; Musson, 2005).”
• Accounting for Epistemic Uncertainty in PSHA: Logic Tree and Ensemble Modeling (2015, background): “…practice there are two different and irreconcilable attitudes: some scientists describe the hazard using the percentiles of the logic-tree outcomes (Abrahamson and Bommer, 2005; Stucchi et al., 2011; Field et al., 2014), whereas others firmly claim that the use of percentiles throws away…”
• Logic Tree Branch Weights and Probabilities: Summing up to One is not Enough (2011, background): “…are probabilities in a strict theoretical sense, has only recently started to become the topic of public discussion among hazard practitioners related to the issue if the mean hazard or fractiles of the hazard curves must/can be used (Abrahamson and Bommer 2005, McGuire et al. 2005, Musson 2005).”
