Bayesian statistics for models of diffusion: theory and applications — •Samudrajit Thapa1, Michael A. Lomholt2, Jens Krog2, Andrey G.

Particle diffusion in heterogeneous systems poses the following question: Can a single model describe the entire dynamics of a particle in complex biological, soft matter systems? Indeed, often several different physical mechanisms are at work and it is more insightful to rank them based on the likelihood of them explaining the dynamics. This talk will discuss—within the Bayesian framework—,(a) how maximum-likelihood model selection can be done by assigning probabilities to each feasible model and (b) how to estimate the parameters of each model. In particular, the implementation of this powerful statistical tool using the Nested Sampling algorithm to compare—at the single trajectory level-models of Brownian motion, viscoelastic anomalous diffusion and normal yet non-Gaussian diffusion will be discussed. Finally, the application of this method to experimental data of tracer diffusion in polymer-based hydrogels (Mucin) will be presented.
