Extending the multi-level method for the simulation of stochastic biological systems
Christopher Lester, Ruth E. Baker, Michael B. Giles +1
The multi-level method for discrete state systems, first introduced by Anderson and Higham [Multiscale Model. Simul. 10:146--179, 2012], is a highly efficient simulation technique…
Bisection-based asymmetric MT2 computation: a higher precision calculator than existing symmetric methods
Christopher G. Lester, Benjamin Nachman
An MT2 calculation algorithm is described. It is shown to achieve better precision than the fastest and most popular existing bisection-based methods. Most importantly, it is also…
An adaptive multi-level simulation algorithm for stochastic biological systems
Christopher Lester, Christian A. Yates, Michael B. Giles +1
Discrete-state, continuous-time Markov models are widely used in the modeling of biochemical reaction networks. Their complexity often precludes analytic solution, and we rely on s…
Improving estimates of the number of fake leptons and other mis-reconstructed objects in hadron collider events: BoB's your UNCLE. (Previously "The Matrix Method Reloaded")
Thomas P. S. Gillam, Christopher G. Lester
We consider current and alternative approaches to setting limits on new physics signals having backgrounds from misidentified objects; for example jets misidentified as leptons, b-…
