Electronic Supplement to
Goodness-of-fit Criteria for Broadband Synthetic Seismograms, With Application to the 2008 Mw5.4 Chino Hills, CA, Earthquake

by K.B. Olsen and J.E. Mayhew

Table S1. Comparison of average 8-metric GOF values to those from Anderson's method at the 10 stations for three-component synthetics from the verification study by Bielak et al. (2010). The table lists the mean, standard deviation, maximum and minimum for (a) our GOF, (b) Anderson's GOF for the unfiltered seismograms, (c) Anderson's GOF using all frequency bands, (d) the normalized residuals between our GOF measure and that by Anderson using all metrics.
