2) Estimated physical parameter
- Peak ground acceleration (GMRotI50),
- Peak ground velocity (GMRotI50),
- Peak ground displacement (GMRotI50),
- Acceleration response spectra (h=5%, T=0.01sec to 10 sec) (GMRotI50),
where GMRotI50 (Boore et al., 2006): Orientation-independent geometric mean horizontal component

Geometric mean of two perpendicular horizontal components
9) Applicability written in the paper
NGA model to be appropriate for estimating PGA, PGV, PGD and linear elastic response spectra (T=0.01–10 s) for shallow continental earthquakes occurring in western North America and other regimes of similar active tectonics
The model is considered most reliable when evaluated for
(1) M>4.0;
(2) M<8.5 for strike-slip faulting, M<8.0 for reverse faulting, and M<7.5 for normal faulting;
(3) RRUP=0–200 km;
(4) AVS30 =150–1500 m/ s or alternatively NEHRP site classes B, C, D and E;
(5) Z2.5 =0–10 km;
(6) ZTOR=0–15 km; and
(7) d=15–90°.
