acceleration (accn) amplitude versus frequency, log scaling. For both
eastwest and northsouth, the best-fitting least-squares solution
for all the data is plotted in dashed lines. Outlying data from tests and
earthquakes prior to main permanent natural frequency shift (pre-Whittier
Narrows for northsouth; pre-San Fernando for eastwest) are removed
from dataset for the solid-line regressions, with labeled functional form.
