Convergence of Regression Adjusted Approximate Bayesian Computation
We present asymptotic results for the regression-adjusted version of approximate Bayesian computation introduced by Beaumont et al. (2002). We show that for an appropriate choice of the bandwidth, regression adjustment will lead to a posterior that, asymptotically, correctly quantifies uncertainty. Furthermore, for such a choice of bandwidth we can implement an importance sampling algorithm to ...
متن کاملApproximate Bayesian Computation for Source Term Estimation
Bayesian inference is a vital tool for consistent manipulation of the uncertainty that is present in many military scenarios. However, in some highly complex environments, it is hard to write down an analytic form for the likelihood function that underlies Bayesian inference. Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) algorithms address this difficulty by enabling one to proceed without analyticall...
متن کاملCophylogeny Reconstruction via an Approximate Bayesian Computation
Despite an increasingly vast literature on cophylogenetic reconstructions for studying host-parasite associations, understanding the common evolutionary history of such systems remains a problem that is far from being solved. Most algorithms for host-parasite reconciliation use an event-based model, where the events include in general (a subset of) cospeciation, duplication, loss, and host swit...
متن کاملDR-ABC: Approximate Bayesian Computation with Kernel-Based Distribution Regression
Performing exact posterior inference in complex generative models is often difficult or impossible due to an expensive to evaluate or intractable likelihood function. Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is an inference framework that constructs an approximation to the true likelihood based on the similarity between the observed and simulated data as measured by a predefined set of summary st...
متن کاملNon-linear regression models for Approximate Bayesian Computation
Approximate Bayesian inference on the basis of summary statistics is wellsuited to complex problems for which the likelihood is either mathematically or computationally intractable. However the methods that use rejection suffer from the curse of dimensionality when the number of summary statistics is increased. Here we propose a machine-learning approach to the estimation of the posterior densi...
