8. rate has been driven by, for example: increased recording (through lower-cost digital instruments and
denser networks) and availability of strong-motion data [through online open-access databases, such
as the Internet Site for European Strong-motion Data (Ambraseys et al., 2004)], more journals and
conferences publishing engineering seismology research, and large-scale initiatives, such as the Next
Generation Attenuation (NGA) project (Powers et al., 2008). The latest compendium of published
GMPEs by Douglas (2011) lists the characteristics of 289 empirical GMPEs for the prediction of PGA
and 188 empirical models for the prediction of elastic response spectral ordinates. In addition, this
report lists many dozens of simulation-based models to estimate these parameters.
Figure 1. Number of published GMPEs per year (histogram) and cumulatively since 1964 (blue line).
This abundance of models, however, creates a difficulty. On one hand, it is feasible from a practical
point of view to carefully consider only a small fraction (less than 10%) of all available GMPEs in
any project but, on the other hand, predictions of the median ground motions from the available
GMPEs show a large (and not noticeably narrowing) dispersion (Figure 2), which needs to be
considered since it demonstrates high epistemic uncertainty in ground-motion prediction.
Consequently, a set of objective selection criteria need to be applied to the list of available models to
