A Bayesian approach to theassessment of contaminant spreadPart
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper provides a Bayesian method for estimating totals such as the polluted area or cost of remediation of a possibly contaminated hazardous waste site. After specifying a prior distribution on the total polluted area (here expert opinion may be taken into account), its focus is on how to chose the number of measurements to make in order to achieve a speciied accuracy goal. This paper treats the discrete case in which the site is partitioned into a nite number of remediation units (cells). An accompanying paper 4] treats the continuous case.

Probabilistic Contaminant Source Identification in Water Distribution Infrastructure Systems
Large water distribution systems can be highly vulnerable to penetration of contaminant factors caused by different means including deliberate contamination injections. As contaminants quickly spread into a water distribution network, rapid characterization of the pollution source has a high measure of importance for early warning assessment and disaster management. In this paper, a methodology...
متن کاملA BAYESIAN APPROACH TO COMPUTING MISSING REGRESSOR VALUES
In this article, Lindley's measure of average information is used to measure the information contained in incomplete observations on the vector of unknown regression coefficients [9]. This measure of information may be used to compute the missing regressor values.

A Bayesian analysis is used to detect a change-point in a sequence of independent random variables from exponential distributions. In This paper, we try to estimate change point which occurs in any sequence of independent exponential observations. The Bayes estimators are derived for change point, the rate of exponential distribution before shift and the rate of exponential distribution after s...

This paper presents an extension of Bayesian networks (BN) applied to reliability analysis of an open gas generator cycle Liquid propellant engine (OGLE) of launch vehicles. There are several methods for system reliability analysis such as RBD, FTA, FMEA, Markov Chains, and etc. But for complex systems such as LV, they are not all efficiently applicable due to failure dependencies between compo...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Bayesian Classifier Approach for Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis
Basically, medical diagnosis problems are the most effective component of treatment policies. Recently, significant advances have been formed in medical diagnosis fields using data mining techniques. Data mining or Knowledge Discovery is searching large databases to discover patterns and evaluate the probability of next occurrences. In this paper, Bayesian Classifier is used as a Non-linear dat...
