Abstract:The absence of key input parameters and use of least squares technique have resulted in most of the available empirical ground motion prediction models (GMPEs) in India, as a function of epicentral distances and magnitudes, resulting in large uncertainty in the predictive model. Here we apply a supervised Machine Learning technique (XGBoost) to design a robust improved GMPE of peak ground acceleration (PGA) for the Indian sub-continent and Nepal, utilizing independent input parameters viz., moment magnitudes, … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
