Sampling from compositional and directional distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a method for sampling from a non-standard distribution which is important in both population genetics and directional statistics. Current approaches rely on complicated procedures which do not work well, if at all, in high dimensions and usual parameter set-ups. We use a Gibbs sampler which seems necessary in practical situations of high dimensions.

Stress Analysis of Two-directional FGM Moderately Thick Constrained Circular Plates with Non-uniform Load and Substrate Stiffness Distributions
In the present paper, bending and stress analyses of two-directional functionally graded (FG) circular plates resting on non-uniform two-parameter foundations (Winkler-Pasternak foundations) are investigated using a first-order shear-deformation theory. To enhance the accuracy of the results, the transverse stress components are derived based on the three dimensional theory of elasticity. The s...
متن کاملCombining Probabilistic Shape-from-Shading and Statistical Facial Shape Models
In this thesis we present an approach to combine a probabilistic Shape-fromShading algorithm with statistical models of facial shapes. Thesis presents how Fisher-Bingham (FB8) distributions are sampled using Gibbs sampling to give normal distributions on the tangent plane. These normal distributions are in turn combined with normal distributions arising from statistical models of facial shapes....
متن کاملThree-dimensional forest canopy structure from terrestrial laser scanning
A terrestrial laser scanner was used to measure the three-dimensional structure of forest stands in the Swiss National Park, eastern Switzerland. Spatially coincident hemispherical photographs were taken at each sampling point and the position of each point was determined using differential GPS. A scanner model was derived in order to determine the expected number of laser shots in all directio...
متن کاملA Compositional Semantics for Directional Modifiers - Locative Case Reopened
This paper pre,'Jents a model-theoretic semantics for directional modifiers in English. The semantic theory presupposed for the analysis is that of Montague Grammar (cf. Montague 1970, 1973) which makes it possible to develop a strongly compositional treatment of directional modifiers, Such a treatment has significant computational advantages over case-based treatments of directional modifiers ...
متن کاملBiological marker geochemistry of selected oils and possible source rocks from central Alborz Basin
Surface oil seeps from Alasht, Lapur and Jenesem share many compositional affinities including distributions and concentrations ofnormal alkanes, terpanes and steranes. These oils also show many similarities with that of Jurassic sediments (Shemshak Group, KlarizFormation) systematically sampled from the Galandrud Coal Mine. Recent geochemical studies in this area indicated that theShemshak Gro...
