1. Probabilistic Programming for Birth-Death Models of Evolution
Sammanfattning : Phylogenetic birth-death models constitute a family of generative models of evolution. In these models an evolutionary process starts with a single species at a certain time in the past, and the speciations—splitting one species into two descendant species—and extinctions are modeled as events of non-homogenous Poisson processes.

2. Correct and Efficient Monte Carlo Inference for Universal Probabilistic Programming Languages
Sammanfattning : Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) allow users to express statistical inference problems that the PPL implementation then, ideally, solves automatically. In particular, PPL users can focus on encoding their inference problems, and need not concern themselves with the intricacies of inference. LÄS MER
3. Sequential Monte Carlo methods for conjugate state-space models
Sammanfattning : Bayesian inference in state-space models requires the solution of high-dimensional integrals, which is intractable in general. A viable alternative is to use sample-based methods, like sequential Monte Carlo, but this introduces variance into the inferred quantities that can sometimes render the estimates useless. LÄS MER
