Testing MCMC code

, 2014
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms are a workhorse of probabilistic modeling and inference, but are difficult to debug, and are prone to silent failure if implemented naively. We outline several strategies for testing the correctness of MCMC algorithms.

Shifts in phenology influence synchrony of flowering plants and their pollinators along an elevation gradient

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions alter the phenology of species, which may threaten the synchrony of biotic interactions. However, how phenological synchrony across entire communities of plants and their pollinators responds to varying environmental conditions remains poorly understood.

MCMC for GLMMs

, 2022
Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) are often used for analyzing correlated non-Gaussian data. The likelihood function in a GLMM is available only as a high dimensional integral, and thus closed-form inference and prediction are not possible for GLMMs.

Range‐wide sampling reveals cryptic lineages but largely conserved mycorrhizal associations in the Japanese fairy lantern Thismia kobensis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The jewel‐like flowers of Thismia are as rare as they are beautiful, often recorded from only a single site per species. Access to 15 populations of T. kobensis has enabled an uncommon, range‐wide assessment of morphology, genetics, and fungal partners. Our analyses showed that T.

Potential of bacteria isolated from chitin‐enriched soil against Euschistus heros (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
B. thuringiensis and B. altitudinis, isolated from chitin‐enriched soil, causing mortality in Euchistus heros under laboratory conditions. First report of B. altitudinis in the control of E. heros. Abstract BACKGROUND Biological control using entomopathogenic microorganisms is a more sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides for managing insect ...

Uncertainty Quantification of Geophysical and Hydrologic Parameters Estimated From Borehole Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation
Borehole nuclear magnetic resonance (bNMR) data are typically used to infer in situ hydrologic properties. Partial water content as a function of pore size is estimated by fitting the measured NMR response to a multi‐exponential T2 distribution, and the ...

First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Intranasal diamorphine population pharmacokinetics modeling and simulation in pediatric breakthrough pain

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 435-447, March 2025.
Abstract Intranasal diamorphine (IND), approved for managing breakthrough pain in the UK, has been identified as an acceptable alternative offering effective, expedient, and less traumatic analgesia for children. However, the current dose regimen in pediatric populations relies on clinical expertise while the pharmacokinetics properties are poorly ...

To MCMC or not to MCMC: Evaluating non-MCMC methods for Bayesian penalized regression

Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling is computationally expensive, especially for complex models. Alternative methods make simplifying assumptions about the posterior to reduce computational burden, but their impact on predictive performance remains unclear.
