Trophic modeling is mainly based on weighted networks, where each weighted edge corresponds to a flow of organic matter between two trophic compartments, containing individuals of similar feeding behaviors and metabolisms and with the same predators. To take into account the unknown flow values within food webs, a class of methods called Linear Inverse Modeling was developed. The total linear constraints, equations and inequations defines a multidimensional convex-bounded polyhedron, called a polytope, within which lie all realistic solutions to the problem. To describe this polytope, a possible method is to calculate a representative sample of solutions by using the Monte Carlo Markov Chain approach. In order to extract a unique solution from the simulated sample, several goal (cost) functions—also called Ecological Network Analysis indices—have been introduced in the literature as criteria of fitness to the ecosystems. These tools are all related to information theory. Here we introduce new functions that potentially provide a better fit of the estimated model to the ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":506244,"journal":{"name":"The 42nd International Workshop on Bayesian Inference and Maximum Entropy Methods in Science and Engineering","volume":"45 32","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140448898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the lack of precise values of the enclosed prior mass of the samples introduces probing noise, which can hamper high-accuracy determinations of the evidence values as estimated from the likelihood-prior-volume function. We introduce an approach based on information field theory, a framework for non-parametric function reconstruction from data, that infers the likelihood-prior-volume function by exploiting its smoothness and thereby aims to improve the evidence calculation. Our method provides posterior samples of the likelihood-prior-volume function that translate into a quantification of the remaining sampling noise for the evidence estimate, or for any other quantity derived from the likelihood-prior-volume function.","PeriodicalId":506244,"journal":{"name":"The 42nd International Workshop on Bayesian Inference and Maximum Entropy Methods in Science and Engineering","volume":"50 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139181782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
