Reliable ABC model choice via random forests
MOTIVATION Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) methods provide an elaborate approach to Bayesian inference on complex models, including model choice. Both theoretical arguments and simulation experiments indicate, however, that model posterior probabilities may be poorly evaluated by standard ABC techniques. RESULTS We propose a novel approach based on a machine learning tool named random ...
متن کاملABC methods for model choice in Gibbs random fields
Gibbs random fields are polymorphous statistical models that can be used to analyse different types of dependence, in particular for spatially correlated data. However, when those models are faced with the challenge of selecting a dependence structure from many, the use of standard model choice methods is hampered by the unavailability of the normalising constant in the Gibbs likelihood. In par...
متن کاملBayesian Model Choice using Coupled ABC
In Neal (2010), a novel Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) algorithm, coupled ABC, was introduced. This paper shows how coupled ABC can be used in an efficient manner for model choice in a Bayesian framework. The methodology is applied to Gibbs random fields and stochastic epidemic models. Furthermore a very efficient simulation procedure for Gibbs random fields with a given sufficient summ...
متن کاملLack of confidence in ABC model choice
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) have become an essential tool for the analysis of complex stochastic models. Grelaud et al. (2009, Bayesian Ana 3:427–442) advocated the use of ABC for model choice in the specific case of Gibbs random fields, relying on a inter-model sufficiency property to show that the approximation was legitimate. We implemented ABC model choice in a wide range of phyl...
متن کاملSupervised Heterogeneous Domain Adaptation via Random Forests
Heterogeneity of features and lack of correspondence between data points of different domains are the two primary challenges while performing feature transfer. In this paper, we present a novel supervised domain adaptation algorithm (SHDA-RF) that learns the mapping between heterogeneous features of different dimensions. Our algorithm uses the shared label distributions present across the domai...
