Is this result expected?? Due to the limitations of the PEER-NGA project and the missing parameters in The Turkey GM dataset, a very small number of ground motions recorded during the earthquakes occurred in Turkey was included in the NGA -W1 database (Chiou, 2008)

Number of recordings included in the dataset
Even though a large amount of data is available, a whole database with complete source metadata and recording station information was difficult to establish during the project.
4607 sets of ground motions recorded during the earthquakes occurred in Turkey between 1976-2007 were gathered and delivered through the project web-site.
daphne.deprem.gov.tr
TSGM database includes 4067 sets of recordings from 2996 events.Only 173 of these events are magnitude 5 or bigger.During these 173 events 685 recordings were taken.Small magnitude events (M<5) only if 3 or more recordings are available.The moment magnitude for 119 of events estimated from ML using Akkar et al. 2010No site information (Vs30 or site classification) could be found for 431 recordings (estimated from NGA-W1 database or removed)The style of faulting for 68 recordings are estimated from the mechanisms of other earthquakes in the sequence or due to the dominant mechanism of the region. If the distance measures were missing (96 recordings) they were estimated from the fault plane solutions or Rhypo and Repi values.

Turkey-Adjusted NGA-W1 Models: All five NGA-W1 models are evaluated using the
comparison dataset by analysis of model residuals. Inter-event residuals vs. magnitude plots showed
significant overestimation for small-to-moderate magnitudes! Corrected by adding adjustment functions for Mw<6.75.
Well-constrained pieces of the models (Mw>6.75) were preserved.
Turkey-Adjusted NGA-W1 Models: Intra-event residuals vs. distance plots suggested
no trend within the applicability range of the NGA-W1 models for tectonic regions other than Western US (100 kilometers)
The large distance scaling (gamma-term) were adjusted (100-200 km).
Turkey-Adjusted NGA-W1 Models:
AS2008 and CY2008 models slightly under-predict the ground motions in the Turkey comparison dataset at stiff soil/engineering rock sites but this effect diminishes as Vs30 decreases. Aftershocks....
Corrected by adding adjustment functions for Vs30 >450 m/s.
5 new models for Turkey (TR-Adjusted NGA-W1 models) will be published soon. (Gülerce, Kargıoğlu and Abrahamson, 2013. Submitted to Earthquake Spectra).
