Model Selection in Historical Research Using Approximate Bayesian Computation. [PDF]
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

Approximate Bayesian Computation of Bézier Simplices
Bézier simplex fitting algorithms have been recently proposed to approximate the Pareto set/front of multi-objective continuous optimization problems. These new methods have shown to be successful at approximating various shapes of Pareto sets/fronts when sample points exactly lie on the Pareto set/front. However, if the sample points scatter away from

Assessing the factors responsible for differences in outbreak severity for the same pathogen is a challenging task, since outbreak data are often incomplete and may vary in type across outbreaks (e.g., daily case counts, serology, cases per household ...

To estimate and predict the transmission dynamics of respiratory viruses, the estimation of the basic reproduction number, R0, is essential. Recently, approximate Bayesian computation methods have been used as likelihood free methods to estimate ...

Approximation Bayesian computation [PDF]
Approximation Bayesian computation [ABC] is an analysis approach that has arisen in response to the recent trend to collect data that is of a magnitude far higher than has been historically the case. This has led to many existing methods become intractable because of difficulties in calculating the likelihood function.

Computation of Kullback–Leibler Divergence in Bayesian Networks
Kullback–Leibler divergence KL(p,q) is the standard measure of error when we have a true probability distribution p which is approximate with probability distribution q.

Exact Inference with Approximate Computation for Differentially Private Data via Perturbations
This paper discusses how two classes of approximate computation algorithms can be adapted, in a modular fashion, to achieve exact statistical inference from differentially private data products.

Approximate Bayesian computation with functional statistics [PDF]
Functional statistics are commonly used to characterize spatial patterns in general and spatial genetic structures in population genetics in particular. Such functional statistics also enable the estimation of parameters of spatially explicit (and genetic) models.
