D. B. Br\"{u}ckner et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 058103 (2020)] have described a novel method for inferring the dynamics of systems governed by an underdamped Langevin equation in the presence of measurement noise. While this is a…
Entropy is a central concept in physics, but can be challenging to calculate even for systems that are easily simulated. This is exacerbated out of equilibrium, where generally little is known about the distribution characterizing simulated…
Doubly intractable distributions arise in many settings, for example in Markov models for point processes and exponential random graph models for networks. Bayesian inference for these models is challenging because they involve intractable…
