Approximate Bayesian Computation Estimator for Respondent-Driven Sampling
Respondent-driven sampling is a network-based technique to collect information and make estimation about behavior and composition of social groups in hidden population. The non-randomly selected samples prohibit the use of the sample mean as a statistically valid estimator. Researchers have proposed several asymptotically unbiased estimators, but many fail to realize that the high variance of t...

متن کاملabc: an R package for Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC)
Background: Many recent statistical applications involve inference under complex models, where it is computationally prohibitive to calculate likelihoods but possible to simulate data. Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) is devoted to these complex models because it bypasses evaluations of the likelihood function using comparisons between observed and simulated summary statistics. Results: W...
متن کاملApproximate Bayesian Computation
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, I’m going to complicate things even further. The Nielsen-Wakely-Hey [5, 3, 4] approach is very flexible and very powerful, but even it doesn’t cover all possible scenarios. It allows for non-equilibrium scenarios in which the populations from which we sampled diverged from one another at different times, but suppose that we think our ...
متن کاملAdaptive approximate Bayesian computation
Sequential techniques can enhance the efficiency of the approximate Bayesian computation algorithm, as in Sisson et al.’s (2007) partial rejection control version. While this method is based upon the theoretical works of Del Moral et al. (2006), the application to approximate Bayesian computation results in a bias in the approximation to the posterior. An alternative version based on genuine im...
