Traditional regularization based method would suffer from error propagation due to the iteration process. The statistical inverse problem method uses statistical inference to estimate unknown parameters. In this article, we develop a nonlinear weighted anisotropic total variation (NWATV) prior density function based on the recently proposed NWATV regularization method. We calculate the corresponding posterior density function, i.e., the solution of the EIT inverse problem in the statistical sense, via a modified Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling. We do numerical experiment to validate the proposed approach. %K Statistical Inverse Problem %K Electrical Impedance Tomography %K NWATV Prior %K Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampling %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=130970
