This study introduces a novel maximum likelihood estimation method for nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems, enabling accurate parameter inference from time-series data. The new approach was successfully applied to model cholera dynamics in Bangladesh.

Area of Science:

  • Dynamical Systems and Statistics
  • Computational Biology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems are crucial for modeling complex phenomena in science and engineering.
  • Parameter inference from time-series data in these models presents significant challenges, limiting their practical application.
  • Existing methods struggle with partially-observed nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems, also known as state-space models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a feasible maximum likelihood estimation method for partially-observed nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems.
  • To enable robust parameter inference where it was previously intractable.
  • To apply this new method to real-world epidemiological data.

Main Methods:

  • A novel method based on a sequence of nonlinear filtering operations is proposed.
