Using shock tube species time-histories in Bayesian parameter estimation: Effective independent-data number and target selection by Chen, Huaibo, Ji, Weiqi, Cassady, Séan J, Ferris, Alison M, Hanson, Ronald K, Deng, Sili

“…Second, taking all points of a curve as targets can lead to results different from that of taking several representative points in the curve. In this paper, we employed maximum a posteriori estimation combined with a neural network response surface to optimize a propane mechanism against multispecies time-histories of propane pyrolysis in a shock tube. …”

Adenovirus-associated health risks for recreational activities in a multi-use coastal watershed based on site-specific quantitative microbial risk assessment by Kundu, Arti., McBride, Graham., Wuertz, Stefan.

“…Seven of eight virus detections occurred when E. coli concentrations were below the single sample maximum water quality criterion for contact recreation, and five of eight virus detections occurred when fecal coliforms were below the corresponding criterion. We employed dose-harmonization to convert viral genome measurements to TCID50 values needed for dose–response curves. …”

Worst-Case Mechanism Design via Bayesian Analysis by Bei, Xiaohui, Chen, Ning, Gravin, Nick, Lu, Pinyan

“…Then we convert our results in the Bayesian setting back to the prior-free framework by employing Yao's minimax principle. Along the way, we obtain the following results: (i) a polynomial time constant approximation for XOS valuations (a.k.a. fractionally subadditive valuations, a superset of submodular functions), (ii) a polynomial time $O(\log n / \log \log n)$-approximation for general subadditive valuations, (iii) a constant approximation for general subadditive functions in the Bayesian framework---we allow correlation in the distribution of sellers' costs and provide a universally truthful mechanism, (iv) the existence of a prior-free constant approximation mechanism via Yao's minimax principle.…”
