• Selection of Ground Motion Prediction Equations for the Global Earthquake Model (2015, methodology): “This pre-selection was based on applying the exclusion criteria of Cotton et al. (2006) to the complete list of models summarized by Douglas (2011). These qualityassurance criteria exclude models that, for example: are superseded by more recent GMPEs; do not allow predictions for the entire magnitud”
• The Influence of Magnitude Range on Empirical Ground-Motion Prediction (2007, background): “Scherbaum et al. (2004) found that the only region-specific equation for Central Europe, derived from small-magnitude events, provided poorer predictions of recordings from the Mw 4.8 St. Dié earthquake of February 2003 than many equations from other regions.”
• The Estimation of Minimum-Misfit Stochastic Models from Empirical Ground-Motion Prediction Equations (2006, methodology): “This particular set of models was selected to capture a wide range of shallow crustal host-region environments (Cotton et al., 2006), initially for application of the hybrid empirical method to central Europe within the PEGASOS project (Abrahamson et al., 2002).”
• A New Procedure for Selecting and Ranking Ground-Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs): The Euclidean Distance-Based Ranking (EDR) Method (2013, background): “We note that the GMPEs developed by Zhao et al. (2006) and Ambraseys et al. (2005) do not fully comply with the Cotton et al. (2006) criteria.”
• A Study on the Variability of Kappa (κ) in a Borehole: Implications of the Computation Process (2013, neutral): “Boore (2003), who refers to κ0 as path-independent diminution, considers it may be due either to source or site effects, whereas Cotton et al. (2006) consider it a site parameter.”
• On the Relationship between Fourier and Response Spectra: Implications for the Adjustment of Empirical Ground‐Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) (2016, methodology): “Such adjustments are performed using the velocity profiles and κ values (Cotton et al., 2006) for the host and target regions, in which kappa represents the whole path attenuation combining the effects of Q and site kappa κ0.”
