Approximate Bayesian computation
- Approximate Bayesian computation
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a family of computational techniques in Bayesian statistics. These simulation techniques operate on summary data (such as population mean, or variance) to make broad inferences with less computation than might be required if all available data were analyzed in detail.
