An efficient and robust sampler for Bayesian inference
Transitional Ensemble Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Bayesian inference is a popular approach towards parameter identification in engineering problems. Such technique would involve iterative sampling methods which are often robust. However, these sampling methods often require significant computational resources and also the tun ...
This tutorial paper reviews the use of advanced Monte Carlo sampling methods in the context of Bayesian model updating for engineering applications. Markov Chain Monte Carlo, Transitional Markov Chain Monte Carlo, and Sequential Monte Carlo methods are introduced, applied to d ...
This paper focuses on the safety analysis of a nonlinear hydro-generating unit (HGU) running under different loads. For this purpose, a dynamic balance experiment implemented on an existing hydropower station in China is considered, to qualitatively investigate the stability o ...
