Maximum likelihood, neural networks and posterior mean for inferring fractional Brownian motion parameters

Daniel S. Han, Vaishnavi Ananthanarayanan, Matthew J. Simpson

Fractional Brownian motion (fBM) is a model of anomalous diffusion parameterised by a Hurst exponent and a generalised diffusion coefficient . We jointly est…

Invariant Image Reparameterisation: Bridging Symbolic and Numerical Methods for Identifiability Analysis, Model Reduction, and Prediction

Oliver J. Maclaren, Ruanui Nicholson, Joel A. Trent +2

Structural and practical parameter non-identifiability issues are common when mathematical models are used to interpret data. Such issues motivate model reparameterisation and redu…

A generalised sigmoid population growth model with energy dependence: application to quantify the tipping point for Antarctic shallow seabed algae

Elise Mills, Graeme F. Clark, Matthew J. Simpson +2

Sigmoid growth models are often used to study population dynamics. The size of a population at equilibrium commonly depends explicitly on the availability of resources, such as an…

Coupling volume-excluding compartment-based models of diffusion at different scales: Voronoi and pseudo-compartment approaches

Paul R. Taylor, Ruth E. Baker, Matthew J. Simpson +1

Numerous processes across both the physical and biological sciences are driven by diffusion. Partial differential equations (PDEs) are a popular tool for modelling such phenomena d…

Reconciling transport models across scales: the role of volume exclusion

Paul R. Taylor, Christian A. Yates, Matthew J. Simpson +1

Diffusive transport is a universal phenomenon, throughout both biological and physical sciences, and models of diffusion are routinely used to interrogate diffusion-driven processe…
