Bootstrapped synthetic likelihood
The development of approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) and synthetic likelihood (SL) techniques has enabled the use of Bayesian inference for models that may be simulated, but for which the likelihood is not available to evaluate pointwise at values of an unknown parameter θ. The main idea in ABC and SL is to, for different values of θ (usually chosen using a Monte Carlo algorithm), build es...
متن کاملBayesian Restricted Likelihood Methods
Bayesian methods have proven themselves to be successful across a wide range of scientific problems and have many well-documented advantages over competing methods. However, these methods run into difficulties for two major and prevalent classes of problems: handling data sets with outliers and dealing with model misspecification. We outline the drawbacks of previous solutions to both of these ...
متن کاملVariational Bayes with synthetic likelihood
Synthetic likelihood is an attractive approach to likelihood-free inference when an approximately Gaussian summary statistic for the data, informative for inference about the parameters, is available. The synthetic likelihood method derives an approximate likelihood function from a plug-in normal density estimate for the summary statistic, with plug-in mean and covariance matrix obtained by Mon...
متن کاملBayesian versus maximum-likelihood statistics
We investigate the Bayesian framework for detection of continuous gravitational waves (GWs) in the context of targeted searches, where the phase evolution of the GW signal is assumed to be known, while the four amplitude parameters are unknown. We show that the orthodox maximum-likelihood statistic (known as F-statistic) can be rediscovered as a Bayes factor with an unphysical prior in amplitud...
متن کاملBayesian computation via empirical likelihood.
Approximate Bayesian computation has become an essential tool for the analysis of complex stochastic models when the likelihood function is numerically unavailable. However, the well-established statistical method of empirical likelihood provides another route to such settings that bypasses simulations from the model and the choices of the approximate Bayesian computation parameters (summary st...
