Sampling-based verification of CTMCs with uncertain rates

TS Badings, N Jansen, S Junges, M Stoelinga… - … on Computer Aided …, 2022 - Springer
We employ uncertain parametric CTMCs with parametric transition rates and a prior on the
parameter values. The prior encodes uncertainty about the actual transition rates, while the …
