Metamodeling based on noisy Kriging has been developed to reduce computational costs. For example, using only 50 ground motions per metamodel support point provides estimates deviating by less than 8% from those obtained with 5000 nonlinear time-history analyses—reducing required analyses by over two orders of magnitude.
