PERFORMANCE OF HAMILTONIAN MONTE CARLO AND NO-U-TURN SAMPLER FOR ESTIMATING GENETIC PARAMETERS AND BREEDING VALUES

Performance of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and No-U-Turn Sampler for estimating genetic parameters and breeding values

Abstract Background Hamiltonian Monte Carlo is one of the algorithms of the Markov chain Monte Carlo method that uses Hamiltonian dynamics to propose samples that follow a target distribution.The method can avoid the random walk behavior to achieve a more effective and consistent exploration of the probability space and sensitivity to correlated pa

Positron emission tomography and its role in the assessment of vulnerable plaques in comparison to other imaging modalities

The diagnosis and management of vulnerable plaques are topics of high interest in the cardiovascular field.Although imaging techniques like computed tomography angiography (MCTA) and ultrasonography (USG) can structurally evaluate RAPID MASS ICE CREAM COOKIES atherosclerotic plaques, they are limited in examining internal cellular processes.Positro
