I have different things to do. I would like to express this in a passive voice. I would like to understand the correct way to do this in English.
Suppose that a model A is given, fitted to the simulated data and estimated.
or
Suppose that a model A is given, is fitted to the simulated data and is estimated.
Do I need to repeat the verb or a single verb is enough?
Answer
You do not need to repeat the auxiliary verb:
A model is given and fitted to the data.
But I note that you do not "Estimate a model", instead you "use a model to estimate (the parameters)". So the "...and estimated" is grammatically correct, but doesn't fit the meaning. I would write
... and used to estimate ....
