A Comparative Study of the Least Squares Method and the Genetic Algorithm in Deducing Peak Ground Acceleration Attenuation Relationships

In engineering applications, the development of attenuation relationships in a seismic hazard analysis is a useful way to plan for earthquake hazard mitigation. However, finding an optimal solution is difficult using traditional mathematical methods because of the nonlinearity of many relationships....
