Abstract: Meta-Evolutionary optimization and Bayesian Statistics are integrated into a robust inversion methodology. Both deterministic and probabilistic prior information may be incorporated, while providing a detailed uncertainty analysis. These tools are applied to important real-world problems of In Vivo MRS: quantifications of spectral parameters under extreme conditions (inhomogeneity, noise and other artifacts).
