• On the Use of Logic Trees for Ground-Motion Prediction Equations in Seismic-Hazard Analysis (2005, background): “The increase in some of the sigma values is appreciable (despite neglecting the changes due to component conversions) even if not very large; the effect on the hazard, however, could be significant, in particular, for low annual frequencies of exceedance (e.g., Restrepo-Vélez and Bommer, 2003).”
• On the Use of Response Spectral-Reference Data for the Selection and Ranking of Ground-Motion Models for Seismic-Hazard Analysis in Regions of Moderate Seismicity: The Case of Rock Motion (2004, unknown): “In the context of a Probabalistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA), this could potentially cause problems because at low frequencies of exceedance the hazard curve is strongly affected by the scatter of the groundmotion model (Restrepo-Velez and Bommer, 2003).”
• Truncation of the distribution of ground-motion residuals (2008, background): “[Table 2 about here] Restrepo-Vélez and Bommer (2003) explore the alternative approach of fitting the data to a truncated lognormal distribution (the Upper Limit Lognormal, or ULLN, distribution) instead of the traditional unbounded lognormal distribution.”
• A New Procedure for Selecting and Ranking Ground-Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs): The Euclidean Distance-Based Ranking (EDR) Method (2013, result): “As given in the previous case study, this objective may favor GMPEs with large sigma that may result in conservative probabilistic seismic hazard for long-return periods (Restrepo-Velez and Bommer, 2003).”
