Parameter inference in synthetic biology with ensemble MCMC methods

Abstract: MCMC methods and ensemble methods in particular are popular in synthetic biology for parameter inference. I will present some results from simulation experiments comparing an ensemble sampler with affine invariance (Emcee) to Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC). I will contrast the two methods sensitivity to dimensionality and choice of prior.
