Bayesian Methods Applied to Survey Data From Archeological Magnetometry
考古磁测调查数据的贝叶斯分析
A model is presented for the interpretation of magnetometer data in terms of archeological features beneath the ground. It describes the detector's response to the assemblage of buried features, incorporating both a spread function and a statistical error process as well as appropriate prior beliefs about the nature of archeological features. The problem is to estimate the magnetic susceptibility of the buried features at each horizontal location. A Monte Carlo Markov chain…
