Parameter Estimation By Conditional Coding, Taylor Duersch
Parameter Estimation By Conditional Coding, Taylor Duersch
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Conditional coding is an application of Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods for sampling from conditional distributions. It is applied here to the problem of estimating the parameters of a computer-simulated pattern of fractures in an isomorphic, homotropic material under plane strain. We investigate the theory and procedures of conditional coding and show the viability of the technique by its application.
