TL;DR: Hidden Markov models (HMMs) as discussed by the authors can facilitate inferences about complex system state dynamics that might otherwise be intractable, by formally disentangling state and observation processes based on simple yet powerful mathematical properties that can be used to describe many ecological phenomena.

How big is an outbreak likely to be? Methods for epidemic final-size calculation
TL;DR: This work considers methods for evaluating the probability mass function of the total number of infections over the course of a stochastic epidemic, with a focus on homogeneous finite populations, but also considering heterogeneous and large populations.

Inference from Iterative Simulation Using Multiple Sequences
Andrew Gelman,Donald B. Rubin +1 more
TL;DR: The focus is on applied inference for Bayesian posterior distributions in real problems, which often tend toward normal- ity after transformations and marginalization, and the results are derived as normal-theory approximations to exact Bayesian inference, conditional on the observed simulations.

Reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo computation and Bayesian model determination
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a new framework for the construction of reversible Markov chain samplers that jump between parameter subspaces of differing dimensionality, which is flexible and entirely constructive.

Variable selection via Gibbs sampling
TL;DR: In this paper, the Gibbs sampler is used to indirectly sample from the multinomial posterior distribution on the set of possible subset choices to identify the promising subsets by their more frequent appearance in the Gibbs sample.

An adaptive Metropolis algorithm
TL;DR: An adaptive Metropolis (AM) algorithm, where the Gaussian proposal distribution is updated along the process using the full information cumulated so far, which establishes here that it has the correct ergodic properties.
