The present paper reviews the conceptual framework and development of the Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) approach. BME has been considered as a significant breakthrough and contribution to applied stochastics by introducing an improved, knowledge-based modeling framework for spatial and spatiotemporal information. In this work, one objective is the overview of distinct BME features. By offering a foundation free of restrictive assumptions that limit comparable techniques, an ability to integrate a variety of prior knowledge bases, and rigorous accounting for both exact and uncertain data, the BME approach was coined as introducing modern spatiotemporal geostatistics. A second objective is to illustrate BME applications and adoption within numerous different scientific disciplines. We summarize examples and real-world studies that encompass the perspective of science of the total environment, including atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and ecosphere, while also noting applications that extend beyond these fields. The broad-ranging application track suggests BME as an established, valuable tool for predictive spatial and space–time analysis and mapping. This review concludes with the present status of BME, and tentative paths for future methodological research, enhancements, and extensions. 相似文献
The structural activities took place extensively in the Asia continent during the Cenozoic era owing to the strong continent-to-continent
collision and continuous compression between the India Plate and the Eurasia Plate. Huang Jiqing called such structural activities
Himalayan movement. China’s sedimentary basins developed and took shape mainly during the Himalayan movement period. It is
also the main period for formation and development of the oil and gas reservoirs. Of 366 large and medium-sized oil and gas
fields currently found in China, 212 reservoirs were formed in the Neogene-Quaternary period. The proportion is as high as
68.2%. The oil and gas migration and accumulation in the latest geological period, which were controlled by the times, properties,
styles and strength of the Himalayan movement, took place mainly in eight regions, such as the low uplift area of Bohai Sea,
the onshore faulted sag area of Bohai Bay, anticlinorium zone in Daqing, the foreland fold-and-thrust belt in West China,
the tilted structural zone in West China, the cratonic palaeohigh in the Tarim Basin, the zone of fault and fold belt in the
East Sichuan Basin, and the biological gas zone in the East Qaidam Basin. The oil and gas pool formations in those regions
have their own characteristics. With the great potential and broad prospect, those regions are the main exploration areas
in China in the future. 相似文献
