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.

Phenotypic Subtypes of Obstructive Eustachian Tube Dysfunction as Defined by Cluster Analysis
Obstructive ETD encompasses five clinically distinct phenotypes, ranging from mild, post‐upper respiratory infection presentations to chronic, bilateral disease driven by sinusitis and reflux. These were identified through hierarchical cluster analysis of 490 patients using seven key clinical variables.

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.

Abstract Background and objectives Caregivers of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) patients frequently show significant distress. The Parkinsonism Carers quality of life (QoL) (PQoL Carer) is a valid tool evaluating the effect of PSP on caregivers' QoL.

We develop a full randomization of the classical hyper‐logistic growth model by obtaining closed‐form expressions for relevant quantities of interest, such as the first probability density function of its solution, the time until a given fixed population is reached, and the population at the inflection point.

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 ...

MinDet1: A deep learning-enabled approach for plagioclase textural studies
Quantitative textural attributes, such as crystal size distributions or aspect ratios, provide important constraints on the thermal history of rocks.

ABSTRACT Modern engineering systems require advanced uncertainty‐aware model updating methods that address parameter correlations beyond conventional interval analysis. This paper proposes a novel framework integrating Riemannian manifold theory with Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) for systems governed by Symmetric Positive‐Definite (SPD) matrix ...

Amanita theophili sp. nov. (Amanitaceae) from central Mexico
Amanita theophili sp. nov., a member of Amanita sect. Amidella (Amanitaceae), is described from temperate pine‐oak forests in Morelos, central Mexico. Morphological features and phylogenetic analyses based on ITS and 28S rDNA sequences confirm its distinct taxonomic status. The new species is morphologically similar to A. peckiana and A.

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.
