Counter-checking uncertainty calculations in Bayesian operational modal analysis with EM techniques by Ma, Xinda, Au, Siu-Kui

“…While the existing semi-analytical approach is still preferred for Hessian calculations in applications for its high definitive accuracy and speed, the proposed Monte Carlo solution offers a convenient means for counter-checking during code development. Theoretical implications of the identity will be discussed and numerical examples will be given to illustrate implementation aspects.…”
