Toward diagnostic model calibration and evaluation: Approximate Bayesian computation
[1] The ever increasing pace of computational power, along with continued advances in measurement technologies and improvements in process understanding has stimulated the development of increasingly complex hydrologic models that simulate soil moisture flow, groundwater recharge, surface runoff, root water uptake, and river discharge at different spatial and temporal scales. Reconciling these ...
متن کاملBayesian Calibration of Microsimulation Models.
Microsimulation models that describe disease processes synthesize information from multiple sources and can be used to estimate the effects of screening and treatment on cancer incidence and mortality at a population level. These models are characterized by simulation of individual event histories for an idealized population of interest. Microsimulation models are complex and invariably include...
متن کاملModel Selection in Historical Research Using Approximate Bayesian Computation
FORMAL MODELS AND HISTORY Computational models are increasingly being used to study historical dynamics. This new trend, which could be named Model-Based History, makes use of recently published datasets and innovative quantitative methods to improve our understanding of past societies based on their written sources. The extensive use of formal models allows historians to re-evaluate hypotheses...
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 ...
