Terminology Used for Residual Components and Their Standard Deviations *std(-) denotes the standard deviation operator. Table | in which 6S2S, represents the systematic deviation of the observed ground motion at site s (i.e., the site term) from t he median event-corrected ground motion predicted by the GMPE, and 6WS,, is the site- and event-corrected residual. The standard deviations of the 6S2S, and 6WS,, terms are enoted by ¢s25 and @,,, respectively. Table 1 summarizes he components of the total residual, their respective standard eviations, and the terminology used for each standard eviation component. GMPEs represent the variability over space (i.e ., Across many different sites and sometimes many regions), yet the re- sulting models are applied to a single site. However, multiple recordings from similar events recorded at individual sites generally display lower variability than indicated by the sigma values of GMPEs (e.g., Atkinson, 2006; Rodriguez-Marek et al., 2011). The reason for these differences is t are site-to-site variations among sites characterize same site parameterization (e.g., Vs39 value), and t hat there d by the hese var- iations are included within the sigma values of GMPEs, but these variations are not present when considering a si ngle site.

Figure 6b plots computed p values versus depth for dif- ferent values of th using bin widths of Ath = 2 m and Ad = 5 m. The influence of th is not strong, which suggests a correlation model that is independent of interlayer separa- tion. Figure 6c shows the computed p values versus depth in which p is computed using all pairs of adjacent layers using Ad = Im. There is no systematic variation of p with depth, and thus an average p value of 0.5 was used. are plotted versus depth in Figure 7. These 10 realizations show that the layer thicknesses vary from profile to profile and the thickness generally increases with depth. The simu- lated profiles are located both above and below the median Vs model, and a single profile may be above the median at some depths and below the median at others. One-hundred simulated velocity profiles were developed for the site- response analyses. Using 100 simulations, both the median velocity profile and the variation of oj,y, with depth were captured by the Monte Carlo simulations
