• The Estimation of Minimum-Misfit Stochastic Models from Empirical Ground-Motion Prediction Equations (2006, methodology): “Another reason for the necessity to interpret the stochastic parameters only as a whole set are the known tradeoffs between individual model parameters, for example, between stress drop, kappa, and attenuation ( Scherbaum, 1990; Boore et al., 1992).”
• Conditional Spectrum Computation Incorporating Multiple Causal Earthquakes and Ground-Motion Prediction Models (2013, unknown): “Second, PSHA calculations use multiple GMPMs and seismic source models to compute seismic hazard at a site through a logic tree (e.g., Kramer, 1996; McGuire, 2004; Scherbaum et al., 2005; Bommer and Scherbaum, 2008; Petersen et al., 2008).”
• Logic Tree Branch Weights and Probabilities: Summing up to One is not Enough (2011, background): “Due to the complex nature and often large scale of modern probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, these effects might in practice be quite difficult to detect but there have been reports which could be interpreted in this context (Sabetta et al. 2005, Scherbaum et al. 2005).”
• Criteria for Selecting and Adjusting Ground-Motion Models for Specific Target Regions: Application to Central Europe and Rock Sites (2006, methodology): “We rather suggest to select empirical strong ground-motion models and to correct these models for systematic differences between host and target regions using the hybrid empirical method (Campbell, 2003; Scherbaum et al., 2005).”
• Sensitivity of PSHA results to ground motion prediction relations and logic-tree weights (2005, background): “[11–13], including the aspects related to host-to-target transformations [38], we limit the coverage of this problem here only to the question of logictree weight assignments.”
