A pseudo-Bayesian model-based approach for noninvasive intracranial pressure estimation
… The likelihoods are combined with a imulti-modal prior distribution of the ICP to yield an a posteriori distribution whose mode is taken as the final ICP estimate. An extension to this method is proposed to harness the temporal evolution of past ICP estimates for reducing dependence on the …

Barometer-Based Tactile Sensing: Characterization, Processing, and Applications for Dynamic Manipulation
… for low-force interactions, building upon prior work from the Biomimetic Robotics Lab. Previous work demonstrated that neural networks could infer contact location and three-axis contact force from barometers embedded within an elastomer. However, these models did not account for the …

Bayesian Model Uncertainty and Prior Choice with Applications to Genetic Association Studies
… literature has focused on defining these prior distributions in an objective manner, providing conditions under which Bayes factors lead to the correct model selection, particularly in the situation where the number of variables, <italic>p</italic>, increases with the sample size, …

Accurate charge densities of amino acids and peptides by the Maximum Entropy Method
… extensions to the MEM such as the use of a non-uniform prior-density, the employment of the method of prior-derived F-constraint, static weighting and the choice of the optimal stopping criterion for the MEM iterations. The latter is achieved by inspection of difference Fourier maps and dynamic …

Empirical statistical modelling for crop yields predictions: bayesian and uncertainty approaches
… Monte Carlo (MCMC), Bayesian estimation (with uniform prior) and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method. The results obtained from the three procedures yielded similar mean estimates, but the credible intervals were found to be narrower in Bayesian estimates than confidence intervals in MLE …

Inference for the ratio of two exponential parameters using a Bayesian approach
In this dissertation the maximal data information prior and the probability matching prior for the ratio of two exponential parameters will be derived. The method by Datta and Ghosh (1995) will be used to derive the probability matching prior and the method proposed by Zellner (1971) will be used …
