MCMC methods for entropy optimization and nonlinear network coding [PDF]
2010 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory, 2010 Although determining the space of entropic vectors for n random variables, denoted by Γ* n , is crucial for solving a large class of network information theory problems, there has been scant progress in explicitly characterizing Γ* n for n ≥ 4. In this paper, we present a certain characterization of quasi-uniform distributions that allows one to ...

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Aim The number of pregnancies among women with cystic fibrosis (wwCF) has steadily increased over the past decade. However, the pharmacokinetics (PK) of elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor (ETI) during gestation remains uncharacterized, despite its widespread use in this population.

Application of Markov chain Monte carlo method in Bayesian statistics
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016 In statistical inference methods, bayesian method is a method of great influence. This paper introduces the basic idea of the bayesian method. However, the widespread popularity of MCMC samplers is largely due to their impact on solving statistical ...

Breaking point: Identifying the factors that predict suspension from school
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract School suspensions are associated with adverse educational and psychosocial outcomes, yet little is known about how structural disadvantage, relational factors, health behaviours, well‐being indicators and school‐level factors jointly predict suspension risk in England.

Advanced MCMC methods for sampling on diffusion pathspace
Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2013 The need to calibrate increasingly complex statistical models requires a persistent effort for further advances on available, computationally intensive Monte Carlo methods. We study here an advanced version of familiar Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms that sample from target distributions defined as change of measures from Gaussian laws on ...

Climate Risk and Real Estate Markets in the EU: Institutional Control Through Regulation
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly reshaping the economic foundations of asset markets, yet its implications for the estate sector remain unevenly understood, particularly when institutional and financial mechanisms mediate risk transmission. While a growing body of evidence links climate vulnerability to property valuation and market behaviour ...

Quantum annealing enhanced Markov-Chain Monte Carlo
Scientific ReportsIn this study, we propose quantum annealing-enhanced Markov Chain Monte Carlo (QAEMCMC), where QA is integrated into the MCMC subroutine. QA efficiently explores low-energy configurations and overcomes local minima, enabling the generation of proposal ...

Remote SensingA full-waveform inversion (FWI) of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data can be used to effectively obtain the parameters of a shallow subsurface. Introducing the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm into the FWI can reduce the dependence on the ...

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.
