Comparing Bayesian and Frequentist Inference in Biological Models: A Comparative Analysis of Accuracy, Uncertainty, and Identifiability
Mohammed A. Y. Mohammed, Hamed Karami, Gerardo Chowell
Mathematical models support inference and forecasting in ecology and epidemiology, but results depend on the estimation framework. We compare Bayesian and Frequentist approaches ac…
