Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: VI for hybrid processes
Open Source Code Yes An implementation of our proposed method is publicly available.1 ... 1https://git.rwth-aachen.de/bcs/projects/lk/vi-ct-shs.git
Open Datasets No The paper mentions using 'synthetic data' and 'viral ion channel Kcv MT325' data. For the latter, it notes 'We thank Gerhard Thiel and Kerri Kukovetz for providing the ion channel voltage data', indicating it's not a publicly available dataset with concrete access information provided.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not provide specific training, validation, or test dataset splits (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or references to predefined splits).
Hardware Specification No The paper does not describe the specific hardware (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory, or cloud instance types) used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., 'Python 3.8', 'PyTorch 1.9').
Experiment Setup Yes Both mode dynamics are given by time-independent linear drift functions f(y, z, t) = αz(βz y), (20) with set points βz and dynamics αz > 0, z Z = {1, 2}. (Section 4.1) ... We assume a mode-dependent dispersion, D = D(z). The observation time points are regularly spaced and we fix the observation covariance Σobs. (Section 4.2) ... The observation noise is a known property of the used setup; we hence fix Σobs. (Section 4.3)
