Stochastic virtual population analysis

چکیده
The Metropolis–Hastings algorithm was applied to a standard Virtual Population Analysis using a simulated data set containing catch data from 10 age groups over a 10-year period. Posterior distributions of fishing mortalities and population sizes are studied under different prior assumptions. The results demonstrate the usefulness of obtaining distributions of plausible parameter values instead of point estimates. Computational aspects of the algorithm are also discussed, as well as the estimation of the natural mortality.

متن کاملCommunity Detection with the Non-Backtracking Operator
Community detection consists in identification of groups of similar items within a population. In the context of online social networks, it is a useful primitive for recommending either contacts or news items to users. We will consider a particular generative probabilistic model for the observations, namely the so-called stochastic block model and prove that the non-backtracking operator provid...
