VPSHA: Vector-valued probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for circular seismic sources

This MATLAB function conducts a vector-valued probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (VPSHA) by making use of the truncated Gutenberg-Richter recurrence model. It considers only a uniform circular source in which the site-in-question is assumed to be located in the center of the circular source. The VPHSA model is based on Bazzurro and Cornell (2002). It uses ASB_2014 GMPE file to calculate mean Sa and corresponding sigma values (Akkar et al., 2014).
