⚠️There's a newer version (2.2.2) of this package.Take me there.

abc (version 1.1)

Functions to perform Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) using simulated data

Description

The 'abc' package provides various functions for parameter estimation and model selection in an ABC framework. Three main functions are available: (i) 'abc' implements several ABC inference algorithms, (ii) 'cv4abc' is a cross-validation tool to evaluate the quality of the estimation and help the choice of tolerance rate, and (iii) 'postpr' implements model selection in an ABC setting. All these functions are accompanied by appropriate summary and plotting functions.
