How to implement a system of stochastic ODEs (SDEs) in python?
I have a system of ODEs in which I am trying to include an 'error' term, so that it becomes a system of stochastic ODEs.
For solving a system of ODEs in python I normally use scipy's odeint.
An example derived from the Scipy Cookbook, involving the…

How do I implement stochastic gradient descent from the following gradient descent code? (trouble adding a random sample)
I'm struggling to make the gradient descent function I already have into one for stochastic gradient descent. I have the following:
gd <- function(f, grad, y, X, theta0, npars, ndata, a, niters) {
theta <- matrix(data=NA, nrow=niters,…

Deterministic and stochastic part of an equation
I'm on the lookout for a numerical method that can solve both a deterministic and stochastic equation. In the deterministic case, I know that a fourth order RK method is a valuable one, very effective. Unfortunately, there has not been applied to…
