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

“…The influence of target selection is investigated by comparing LastP and C-1. LastP outperformed C-1 slightly, which can be attributed to the fact that larger discrepancies observed between experimental data and model predictions of the last point can increase the weights of likelihood functions. …”
