Accelerated inference for stochastic compartmental models with over-dispersed partial observations

Abstract An assumed density approximate likelihood is derived for a class of partially observed stochastic compartmental models which permit observational over-dispersion. This is achieved by treating time-varying reporting probabilities as latent variables and integrating them out using Laplace approximations within Poisson Approximate Likelihoods (LawPAL), resulting in a fast deterministic approximation to the marginal likelihood and filtering distributions.

Abstract Reaction time data in psychology are frequently censored or truncated. For example, two-alternative forced-choice tasks that are implemented with a response window or response deadline give rise to censored or truncated data. This must be accounted for in the data analysis, as important characteristics of the data, such as the mean, standard deviation, skewness, and correlations, can be strongly affected by censoring or truncation.
