One-stage Bayesian experimental design optimization for measuring soil-water characteristic curve
The direct measurements of soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) are often costly and time-consuming. Therefore, only a limited number of test data can be obtained from a single SWCC test, based on which the estimated SWCC inevitably produces ...

Bayesian methods for clinicians [PDF]
Background: The Bayesian methods have received more attention in medical research. It is considered as a natural paradigm for dealing with applied problems in the sciences and also an alternative to the traditional frequentist approach. However, its concept is somewhat difficult to grasp by nonexperts. This study aimed to explain the foundational ideas
