This paper presents several efficient statistical inference techniques to calibrate the equivalent initial flaw size (EIFS) of fatigue cracks for mechanical components with complicated geometry and multi-axial, variable amplitude loading.
The map assembler uses Bayesian inference techniques and an efficient dynamic programming algorithm, which has been described previously [ 44, 48, 50, 57, 58].
The clique-tree technique and the variable-elimination technique were implemented for efficient inference and learning [11], [20], [25].
Originating in Allen's analysis of temporal relations, the notion of composition table has become a key technique in providing an efficient inference mechanism for a wide class of theories in the field artificial intelligence.
In this study, the source separation model presented in Section "Model" is implemented by a variational Bayesian approach [10, 17, 18], that allows for more efficient inference when dealing with large data when compared with MCMC techniques.
Knowledge structure is a fruitful information for an efficient inference.
However, approximate inference techniques are a valuable alternative for probabilistic inference.
Lightweight inference techniques are scalable methods for automated reasoning.
The learned concepts enable an efficient inference on a more abstract level.
Hence, we developed a more efficient inference method for cause discovery using the Kappa index.
