Modelling peak accelerations from earthquakes.

This paper deals with the prediction of peak horizontal accelerations with emphasis on seismic risk and insurance concerns. Non-linear mixed effects models are used to analyse well-known earthquake data and the consequences of mis-specifying assumptions on the error term are quantified. A robust fit...
