Bayesian Machine Learning in Geotechnical Site Characterization

This presents recent advancements in probabilistic geotechnical site characterization. It reviews probability theories and models for cross correlation and spatial correlation, and presents methods for Bayesian parameter estimation and prediction. Use of these methods is demonstrated with geotechnical site characterization examples.

List of contents

1. Bayesian Approach. 2. Review of Probability and Models. 3. Bayesian Parameter Estimation and Prediction. 4. Geotechnical Data and Bayesian Modeling. 5. Full-scale Real Case Study.
