On expected durations of birth-death processes, with applications to branching processes and SIS epidemics
Frank Ball, Tom Britton, Peter Neal
We study continuous-time birth-death type processes, where individuals have independent and identically distributed lifetimes, according to a random variable Q, with E[Q]=1, and wh…

Simulation based sequential Monte Carlo methods for discretely observed Markov processes
Peter Neal
Parameter estimation for discretely observed Markov processes is a challenging problem. However, simulation of Markov processes is straightforward using the Gillespie algorithm. We…
