## Abstract

Several different methods exist for efficient approximation of paths in multiscale stochastic chemical systems. Another approach is to use bursts of stochastic simulation to estimate the parameters of a stochastic differential equation approximation of the paths. In this paper, multiscale methods for approximating paths are used to formulate different strategies for estimating the dynamics by diffusion processes. We then analyse how efficient and accurate these methods are in a range of different scenarios, and compare their respective advantages and disadvantages to other methods proposed to analyse multiscale chemical networks.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
