Abstract

In the variability of earthquake hazard analysis results, ground motion prediction equations play an important role. Selection of appropriate prediction relationships for the region can lead to stability and accuracy of earthquake hazard analysis results. In this study, different prediction relationships were investigated and analyzed for earthquake hazard analysis in Ahvaz city. These relationships were ranked based on the criteria of logarithmic probability, Euclidean distance and deviation information in different periods. Then the most efficient relationships were selected by data envelopment analysis (DEA) method on the basis of differences in the obtained results. Out of 67 possible relationships, 5 were identified as suitable relationships for earthquake hazard analysis in the Ahvaz urban area. Then, a special efficiency criterion was used to determine the weight of these relationships. The results of this study can help to reduce to a large extent the uncertainties involved in analyzing the seismic hazard of the area studied.
