The Monte Carlo programme used for the simulation of electron transport is based on a description of the samples by a layered model. The simulation accounts for the elastic scattering of electrons in selected materials and provides results to process the experimental data. In this paper, we...

This paper extends Besag's (1994) identifiability conditions to propose convergence conditions for the Gibbs sampler that are independent of the selected version of the conditional distributions. Moreover, we show that the support of the joint distribution must be connected if the Gibbs sampler...

In univariate calibration, two standard estimators are usually opposed: the classical estimator and the inverse regression estimator. Controversies have followed the use of both estimators and we consider them from a decision-theoretic perspective, establishing the inadmissibility of the...
