Strong maximum a posteriori estimation in Banach spaces with Gaussian priors

H Lambley - Inverse Problems, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
This article shows that a large class of posterior measures that are absolutely continuous
with respect to a Gaussian prior have strong maximum a posteriori estimators in the sense of …

Analysis of a computational framework for Bayesian inverse problems: Ensemble Kalman updates and MAP estimators under mesh refinement

D Sanz-Alonso, N Waniorek - SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification, 2024 - SIAM

Bayesian inverse problems, discretizing the prior and the forward model in a finite …

Inverse problems and data assimilation

D Sanz-Alonso, AM Stuart, A Taeb - arXiv preprint arXiv:1810.06191, 2018 - arxiv.org
We provide a clear and concise introduction to the subjects of inverse problems and data
assimilation, and their inter-relations. The first part of our notes covers inverse problems; this …

An order-theoretic perspective on modes and maximum a posteriori estimation in Bayesian inverse problems

H Lambley, TJ Sullivan - SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification, 2023 - SIAM
It is often desirable to summarize a probability measure on a space in terms of a mode, or
MAP estimator, ie, a point of maximum probability. Such points can be rigorously defined …

Maximum a posteriori estimators in are well-defined for diagonal Gaussian priors

I Klebanov, P Wacker - arXiv preprint arXiv:2207.00640, 2022 - arxiv.org
We prove that maximum a posteriori estimators are well-defined for diagonal Gaussian
priors $\mu $ on $\ell^ p $ under common assumptions on the potential $\Phi $. Further, we …

Most probable transition paths in piecewise-smooth stochastic differential equations

K Hill, J Zanetell, JA Gemmer - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2022 - Elsevier

Are minimizers of the Onsager–Machlup functional strong posterior modes?

R Kretschmann - SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification, 2023 - SIAM
In this work we connect two notions: that of the nonparametric mode of a probability
measure, defined by asymptotic small ball probabilities, and that of the Onsager–Machlup …
