Jump around: Selecting Markov Chain Monte Carlo parameters and diagnostics for improved food web model quality and ecosystem representation by Gemma Gerber, Ursula M. Scharler

“…However, little information exists on how each LIM-MCMC algorithm parameter affects the degree of empirical data variability introduced into the ensemble. Further, post hoc algorithm quality diagnostics with commonly used trace plots and the coefficient of variation (CoV) rarely address critical aspects of algorithm quality, such as (1) if the returned ensemble successfully targeted the solution space distribution (stationarity), (2) correlation between ensemble solutions (mixing), and (3) if the ensemble contains enough solutions to adequately capture input data variability (sampling efficiency). …”

A metaheuristic optimization framework inspired by virus mutations and its ability to optimize the structural design of 2D and 3D steel frames compared to other methods by Mehdi Ghasri, Hamid Reza Karimi, Abdolhamid Salarnia

“…MVPO integrates population-based exploration, simulating viral spread through intra-community interactions (guided by wavelet functions to model transmission variability) and inter-community propagation, with a two-phase mutation strategy: the first phase enhances global exploration via elongated search steps during accelerated spread, while the second phase introduces structural perturbations to escape local optima. …”
