Figure 18: Intra-event residuals <strong>for</strong> dip-slip earthquake <strong>for</strong> a model without a hanging wall term. The<br />

residuals were fit with a linear regression line constrained to pass through 0 at [ 1−<br />

Solid line shows the mean trend <strong>and</strong> the dashed lines indicate the 90% confidence interval <strong>for</strong> the<br />

mean.<br />

Figure 19: Intra-event residuals from fitting a model without a hanging wall term <strong>for</strong> sites with RJB =<br />

0 <strong>and</strong> FHW = 1 plotted against fault dip, δ.<br />

Although, the term [ 1−<br />

] appears to model well the hanging wall effect, there are<br />

two additional aspects it does not capture. Assuming that the hanging wall effect is a<br />
