We are borrowing material from a short course on Simulation-Based Inference for Epidemiological Dynamics (SBIED). This short course uses the same notation as DATASCI/STATS 531 and shares an emphasis on likelihood methods for inference. Indeed, SBIED can be viewed as a sub-course within DATASCI/STATS 531. Although SBIED focuses on epidemiological examples, you can check from previous final projects for 2016, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024 that the ideas extend readily to a variety of other situations. Later, in Chapter 17, we will consider models for financial markets, which is another major area of application for nonlinear time series techniques.
