Motor unit number estimation using reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo
(2007) Motor unit number estimation using reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. Summary. We present an application of reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) from the field of neurophysiology where we seek to estimate the number of motor units within a single muscle. Such an estimate is needed for monitoring the progression of neuro-muscular diseases such as amyotrophic la...
متن کاملMarginal reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo with application to motor unit number estimation
Motor unit number estimation (MUNE) is a method which aims to provide a quantitative indicator of progression of diseases that lead to loss of motor units, such as motor neurone disease. However the development of a reliable, repeatable and fast real-time MUNE method has proved elusive hitherto. Ridall et al. (2007) implement a reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) algorithm to prod...
متن کاملBayesian Color Image Segmentation Using Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo Bayesian Color Image Segmentation Using Reversible Jump Markov Chain
This paper deals with the problem of unsupervised image segmentation. Our goal is to propose a method which is able to segment a color image without any human intervention. The only input is the observed image, all other parameters are estimated during the segmentation process. Our method is model-based, we use a rst order Markov random eld (MRF) model (also known as the Potts model) where the ...
متن کاملPopulation-based reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo
We present an extension of population-based Markov chain Monte Carlo to the transdimensional case. A major challenge is that of simulating from highand transdimensional target measures. In such cases, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods may not adequately traverse the support of the target; the simulation results will be unreliable. We develop population methods to deal with such problems, and giv...
متن کاملTowards Automatic Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Since its introduction by Green (1995), reversible jump MCMC has been recognised as a powerful tool for making posterior inference about a wide range of statistical problems. Despite enjoying considerable application across a variety of disciplines, the method’s popularity has been tempered by the common perception that reversible jump samplers can be difficult to implement. Beginning with a re...
