Stochasticity plays a key role in many biological systems, necessitating the calibration of stochastic mathematical models to interpret associated data. For model parameters to be estimated reliably, it is typically the case that they must…

For the stochastic differential equation (SDE) which has piecewise continuous arguments (PCAs), is driven by multiplicative noises and its drift coefficients are dissipative, we show that the solution at integer time is a Markov chain and…
