Regularized Zero-Variance Control Variates
Leah F. South, Chris J. Oates, Antonietta Mira +1
Zero-variance control variates (ZV-CV) are a post-processing method to reduce the variance of Monte Carlo estimators of expectations using the derivatives of the log target. Once t…
Marginal models with individual-specific effects for the analysis of longitudinal bipartite networks
Francesco Bartolucci, Antonietta Mira, Stefano Peluso
A new modeling framework for bipartite social networks arising from a sequence of partially time-ordered relational events is proposed. We directly model the joint distribution of…
Bayesian Calibration of Force-fields from Experimental Data: TIP4P Water
Ritabrata Dutta, Zacharias Faidon Brotzakis, Antonietta Mira
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations give access to equilibrium structures and dynamic properties given an ergodic sampling and an accurate force-field. The force-field parameters a…
Likelihood-free parameter estimation for dynamic queueing networks: case study of passenger flow in an international airport terminal
Anthony Ebert, Ritabrata Dutta, Kerrie Mengersen +3
Dynamic queueing networks (DQN) model queueing systems where demand varies strongly with time, such as airport terminals. With rapidly rising global air passenger traffic placing i…
Flexible model selection for mechanistic network models
Sixing Chen, Antonietta Mira, Jukka-Pekka Onnela
Network models are applied across many domains where data can be represented as a network. Two prominent paradigms for modeling networks are statistical models (probabilistic model…
Fast Maximum Likelihood estimation via Equilibrium Expectation for Large Network Data
Maksym Byshkin, Alex Stivala, Antonietta Mira +2
A major line of contemporary research on complex networks is based on the development of statistical models that specify the local motifs associated with macro-structural propertie…
