Before revision:  Furthermore , the simulation study shows that a parallelised implementation of the MSL estimator with analytical gradients is a viable alternative to MCMC in terms of both estimation accuracy and computational efficiency . In the considered experimental settings, the MSL estimator is  between 0.9 and 2.1 times faster than MCMC.
