The conventional Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is limited to the selected shape and size of proposal distribution and is not easy to start when the initial proposal distribution is far away from the target distribution. To overcome these drawbacks of the conventional MCMC method, two useful improvements in MCMC method, adaptive Metropolis (AM) algorithm and delayed rejection (DR) algorithm, are attempted to be combined. The AM algorithm aims at adapting the proposal distribution by using the generated estimators, and the DR algorithm aims at enhancing the efficiency of the improved MCMC method. Based on the improved MCMC method, a Bayesian amplitude versus offset (AVO) inversion method on the basis of the exact Zoeppritz equation has been developed, with which the P- and S-wave velocities and the density can be obtained directly, and the uncertainty of AVO inversion results has been estimated as well. The study based on the logging data and the seismic data demonstrates the feasibility and robustness of the method and shows that all three parameters are well retrieved. So the exact Zoeppritz-based nonlinear inversion method by using the improved MCMC is not only suitable for reservoirs with strong-contrast interfaces and long-offset ranges but also it is more stable, accurate and anti-noise.

An enhanced Bayesian approach for damage identification utilizing prior knowledge from refined elemental modal strain energy ratios.
Sci Rep
January 2025
College of Post and Telecommunication, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan, 430073, China.
This study proposes a novel Bayesian damage identification method that uses an Improved Elemental Modal Strain Energy Ratio (IEMSER) to guide a sparse prior distribution. Measured frequencies and mode shapes develop the IEMSER indicator for preliminary damage assessment, forming the basis for a sparse prior distribution. Using the sparse prior and initial damage estimates, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling computes the posterior Probability Density Functions (PDFs) of damage parameters to determine the Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimates.

Independent Researcher, Ho Chi Minh, 727300, Vietnam.
Background: The mental health of Chinese international student returnees is a critical concern impacting their well-being and successful reintegration into home society, especially in the post-COVID-19 era. This study examines how beliefs about changing living conditions, emigration intentions, and belief in fate influence depression levels among these returnees.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey collected data from 1,014 returnees through WeChat public groups.
The Effect of Physical Activity on Combined Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury Exposure.

: Environmental exposures, such as heavy metals, can significantly affect physical activity, an important determinant of health. This study explores the effect of physical activity on combined exposure to cadmium, lead, and mercury (metals), using data from the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Physical activity was measured with ActiGraph GT3X+ devices worn continuously for 7 days, while blood samples were analyzed for metal content using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Multivariate longitudinal ordinal and continuous data exist in many scientific fields. However, it is a rigorous task to jointly analyse them due to the complicated correlated structures of those mixed data and the lack of a multivariate distribution. The multivariate probit model, assuming there is a multivariate normal latent variable for each multivariate ordinal data, becomes a natural modeling choice for longitudinal ordinal data especially for jointly analysing with longitudinal continuous data.
