Interim recruitment prediction for multi-centre clinical trials
Szymon Urbas, Chris Sherlock, Paul Metcalfe
We introduce a general framework for monitoring, modelling, and predicting the recruitment to multi-centre clinical trials. The work is motivated by overly optimistic and narrow pr…
Direct statistical inference for finite Markov jump processes via the matrix exponential
Chris Sherlock
Given noisy, partial observations of a time-homogeneous, finite-statespace Markov chain, conceptually simple, direct statistical inference is available, in theory, via its rate mat…
Motor Unit Number Estimation via Sequential Monte Carlo
Simon Taylor, Chris Sherlock, Gareth Ridall +1
A change in the number of motor units that operate a particular muscle is an important indicator for the progress of a neuromuscular disease and the efficacy of a therapy. Inferenc…
The Random Walk Metropolis: Linking Theory and Practice Through a Case Study
Chris Sherlock, Paul Fearnhead, Gareth O. Roberts
The random walk Metropolis (RWM) is one of the most common Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms in practical use today. Its theoretical properties have been extensively explored for…
