Implements GMPE developed by David M. Boore and Gail M. Atkinson and published as “Ground-Motion Prediction Equations for the Average Horizontal Component of PGA, PGV, and 5%-Damped PSA at Spectral Periods between 0.01 and 10.0 s” (2008, Earthquake Spectra, Volume 24, No. 1, pages 99-138).

COEFFS = <openquake.hazardlib.gsim.base.CoeffsTable object>

Coefficient table is constructed from values in tables 6, 7 and 8 (pages 119, 120, 121). Spectral acceleration is defined for damping of 5%, see ‘Response Variables’ page 100. c1, c2, c3, h are the period-dependent distance scaling coefficients. e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, e6, e7, Mh are the period-dependent magnitude- sigma, tau, std are the intra-event uncertainty, inter-event uncertainty, and total standard deviation, respectively. Note that only the inter-event and total standard deviation for ‘specified’ fault type are considered (because rake angle is always specified)
