Generation of isoseismal maps for Mexico using velocity and acceleration data
Ávila-Barrientos, Lenin; Valdés-González, Carlos; … - In: Natural Hazards 59 (2011) 2, pp. 655-664
Acceleration and velocity data of large earthquakes recorded by the Mexican National Broadband Seismological Network ….1 to 7.1. Peak ground velocity values (PGV) and peak ground accelerations (PGA) were estimated, and velocity-derived peak … indicate that the PGAv values can be used to determine intensities when acceleration records (PGA) are unavailable.

Threshold selection for extremes under a semiparametric model
Gonzalez, Juan; Rodriguez, Daniela; Sued, Mariela - In: Statistical Methods and Applications 22 (2013) 4, pp. 481-500
In this work we propose a semiparametric likelihood procedure for the threshold selection for extreme values. This is achieved under a semiparametric model, which assumes there is a threshold above which the excess distribution belongs to the generalized Pareto family. The motivation of our...

Relationships Between Fundamental Seismic Hazard Parameters for the Different Source Regions in Turkey
Bayrak, Yusuf; Yilmaztürk, Ahmet; Öztürk, Serkan - In: Natural Hazards 36 (2005) 3, pp. 445-462
Turkey has been divided into eight different seismic regions taking into consideration the tectonic environments and epicenters of the earthquakes to examine relationships of the modal values (a/b), the expected maximum magnitudes (M <Subscript>max</Subscript>) and the maximum intensities (I <Subscript>max</Subscript>). For this purpose,...</subscript></subscript>
