Note:<br />

Models based on different subsets <strong>of</strong> NGA database.<br />

Observe:<br />

Except <strong>for</strong> M=6.0 (lower bound <strong>of</strong> database),<br />

deviations are much smaller than the variability<br />

present in the NGA prediction equations.<br />

<strong>Synthetic</strong>s are in close agreement with NGA.
