Parameter estimation for discretely observed linear birth-and-death processes
Anthony Christopher Davison, Sophie Myriam Hautphenne, Andrea Kraus
Birth-and-death processes are widely used to model the development of biological populations. Although they are relatively simple models, their parameters can be challenging to estimate, as the likelihood can become numerically unstable when data arise fro ...
