Recent Advances in Approximate Bayesian Inference
2022-02-08
Recent Advances in Approximate Bayesian Inference In approximate Bayesian computation, likelihood function is intractable and needs to be itself estimated using forward simulations of the statistical model (Beaumont et al., 2002; Marin et al., 2012; Sisson et al., 2019; Martin et al., 2020). Recent…
