The Inverse first passage time method for a two compartment model as a tool to relate Inverse Gaussian and Gamma spike distributions
In a previous paper (Lansky, Sacerdote, Zucca (2016)) we related the stochastic leaky integrate and fire (LIF) and the Gamma models. The question investigated in that paper was the possibility of getting a Gamma distributed output from a LIF model in the presence of coherent choices of the parameters. The used LIF model was the classical one-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and we applied the Inverse first passage time method to verify the possibility to get a Gamma distributed output from this model.
