Particle methods for maximum likelihood estimation in latent variable models
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants. Our approach is ...

Parallel Monte Carlo Algorithms for Sparse SLAE Using MPI
The problem of solving sparse Systems of Linear Algebraic Equations (SLAE) by parallel Monte Carlo numerical methods is considered. The almost optimal Monte Carlo algorithms are pr...

Sequential Monte Carlo method for parameter estimation in diffusion models of affinity-based biosensors
Estimation of the amounts of target molecules in realtime affinity-based biosensors is studied. The problem is mapped to inferring the parameters of a temporally sampled diffusio...
