Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are powerful computational tools for analysis of complex statistical problems. However, their computational efficiency is highly dependent on the chosen proposal distribution, which is generally difficult to find. One way to solve this problem is to use...

This paper is concerned with parameter estimation in linear and non-linear Itô type stochastic differential equations using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. The MCMC methods studied in this paper are the Metropolis–Hastings and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithms. In these kind...
