“ Constructing summary statistics for approximate Bayesian computation : semi - automatic approximate Bayesian computation ”
This report is a collection of comments on the Read Paper of Fearnhead and Prangle (2011), to appear in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B, along with a reply from the authors. 1 A universal latent variable representation (C. Andrieu, A. Doucet and A. Lee) Exact simulation to tackle intractability in model based statistical inference has been exploited in recent years for the...
متن کاملLearning Summary Statistics for Approximate Bayesian Computation
In high dimensional data, it is often very difficult to analytically evaluate the likelihood function, and thus hard to get a Bayesian posterior estimation. Approximate Bayesian Computation is an important algorithm in this application. However, to apply the algorithm, we need to compress the data into low dimensional summary statistics, which is typically hard to get in an analytical form. In ...
متن کاملApproximate bayesian computation without summary statistics: the case of admixture.
In recent years approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) methods have become popular in population genetics as an alternative to full-likelihood methods to make inferences under complex demographic models. Most ABC methods rely on the choice of a set of summary statistics to extract information from the data. In this article we tested the use of the full allelic distribution directly in an ABC fr...
متن کاملApproximate Bayesian Computation
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, I’m going to complicate things even further. The Nielsen-Wakely-Hey [5, 3, 4] approach is very flexible and very powerful, but even it doesn’t cover all possible scenarios. It allows for non-equilibrium scenarios in which the populations from which we sampled diverged from one another at different times, but suppose that we think our ...
متن کاملAdaptive approximate Bayesian computation
Sequential techniques can enhance the efficiency of the approximate Bayesian computation algorithm, as in Sisson et al.’s (2007) partial rejection control version. While this method is based upon the theoretical works of Del Moral et al. (2006), the application to approximate Bayesian computation results in a bias in the approximation to the posterior. An alternative version based on genuine im...
