Comparison with Data at Distances > 70 km: Figure 45 shows intra-event residuals <strong>for</strong><br />

the two large Cali<strong>for</strong>nia earthquakes that are in both the <strong>PEER</strong>-<strong>NGA</strong> data set <strong>and</strong> the<br />

extended TriNet data set. The residuals were computed using the event terms determined fro<br />

the regression of the <strong>PEER</strong>-<strong>NGA</strong> data <strong>for</strong> RRUP ≤ 70 km. The model fit to the data <strong>for</strong> RRUP ≤<br />

70 km does a reasonable job of predicting the ground motions at larger distances when<br />

extrapolated using the model <strong>for</strong> γ given in Equation (19).<br />

Figure 45: Intra-event residuals <strong>for</strong> the Northridge <strong>and</strong> Hector Mines pga data from the <strong>PEER</strong>-<strong>NGA</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> extended data sets. The residuals were computed using the event term <strong>for</strong> each earthquake<br />

determined in the overall regression of the <strong>PEER</strong>-<strong>NGA</strong> data <strong>for</strong> RRUP ≤ 70 km.<br />
