Funded Activity Summary

The validation of approximate Bayesian computation. This project aims to establish the theoretical validity of approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) and to develop diagnostic methods for assessing its reliability in empirical applications. Given the increased complexity of modern statistical models, new ways of conducting statistical inference are needed. Approximate Bayesian computation is a new statistical tool. This project expects its findings will be useful in all fields where complex phenomena feature and approximate methods are the only feasible way of understanding those phenomena.
