Sommario/riassunto

With growing interest in data mining and its merits, including the incorporation of historical or experiential information into statistical analysis, Bayesian inference has become an important tool for analyzing complicated data and solving inverse problems in various fields such as artificial intelligence. This book introduces recent developments in Bayesian inference, and covers a variety of topics including robust Bayesian estimation, solving inverse problems via Bayesian theories, hierarchical Bayesian inference, and its applications for scattering experiments. We hope that this book will stimulate more extensive research on Bayesian fronts to include theories, methods, computational algorithms and applications in various fields such as data science, AI, machine learning, and causality analysis.

Sommario/riassunto

"Although longwall mining productivity can far exceed that of room-and-pillar mining, the total methane emissions per extracted volume associated with longwall sections are generally higher than those for continuous miner or pillar removal sections. Increased face advance rates, increased productivities, increased panel sizes, and more



extensive gate road developments have challenged existing designs for controlling methane on longwalls. Methane control research by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recently examined a number of practices designed to maintain concentrations in mine air within statutory limits and consistently below the lower explosive limit. In this report, several practical guidelines are recommended for controlling longwall coalbed methane. All predictions are based on determinations made for the Pittsburgh Coalbed in southwestern Pennsylvania."
