Piecewise Approximate Bayesian Computation: fast inference for discretely observed Markov models using a factorised posterior distribution (2013)
Journal Article

© 2013, The Author(s). Many modern statistical applications involve inference for complicated stochastic models for which the likelihood function is difficult or even impossible to calculate, and hence conventional likelihood-based inferential techni...

Participatory development and analysis of a fuzzy cognitive map of the establishment of a bio-based economy in the Humber Region (2013)
Journal Article

Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping (FCM) is a widely used participatory modelling methodology in which stakeholders collaboratively develop a ‘cognitive map’ (a weighted, directed graph), representing the perceived causal structure of their system. This can be... Read More about Participatory development and analysis of a fuzzy cognitive map of the establishment of a bio-based economy in the Humber Region.

Saddlepoint approximations for the normalizing constant of Fisher–Bingham distributions on products of spheres and Stiefel manifolds (2013)
Journal Article

In an earlier paper Kume & Wood (2005) showed how the normalizing constant of the Fisher– Bingham distribution on a sphere can be approximated with high accuracy using a univariate saddlepoint density approximation. In this sequel, we extend the ap... Read More about Saddlepoint approximations for the normalizing constant of Fisher–Bingham distributions on products of spheres and Stiefel manifolds.

Activation of store-operated calcium entry in airway smooth muscle cells: insight from a mathematical model (2013)
Journal Article

Intracellular dynamics of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMC) mediate ASMC contraction and proliferation, and thus play a key role in airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) and remodelling in asthma. We evaluate the importance of store-operated entry (SOC... Read More about Activation of store-operated calcium entry in airway smooth muscle cells: insight from a mathematical model.
