MomentClosure.jl: automated moment closure approximations in Julia

Bioinformatics. 2021 Dec 22;38(1):289-290. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btab469.

Abstract

Summary: MomentClosure.jl is a Julia package providing automated derivation of the time-evolution equations of the moments of molecule numbers for virtually any chemical reaction network using a wide range of moment closure approximations. It extends the capabilities of modelling stochastic biochemical systems in Julia and can be particularly useful when exact analytic solutions of the chemical master equation are unavailable and when Monte Carlo simulations are computationally expensive.

Availability and implementation: MomentClosure.jl is freely accessible under the MIT licence. Source code and documentation are available at https://github.com/augustinas1/MomentClosure.jl.
