Copula Approximate Bayesian Computation Using Distribution Random Forests by George Karabatsos

“…Ongoing modern computational advancements continue to make it easier to collect increasingly large and complex datasets, which can often only be realistically analyzed using models defined by intractable likelihood functions. This <i>Stats</i> invited feature article introduces and provides an extensive simulation study of a new approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) framework for estimating the posterior distribution and the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of the parameters of models defined by intractable likelihoods, that unifies and extends previous ABC methods proposed separately. …”

Bayesian adaptation in Poisson cognitive systems by Aleksander A. Solodov

“…From a mathematical point of view, such a model of cognitive functioning is the implementation of an adaptive Bayesian approach, which allows to reduce the influence of a priori distribution of an unknown quantity on its evaluation.The described model of the cognitive system is justified by the fact that the value of X is not only random, but also with an unknown a priori distribution, is not observed directly, and in some way must be evaluated by the cognitive system on the basis of the already existing in the unconscious number of events and the last event on the basis of which.The optimal estimation of the random parameter is used to solve the problem of classification of observations, i.e. the optimal verification of the one-sided hypothesis by the Bayesian criterion.As a result of the undertaken consideration the applicability of the developed formal definition of cognitive system for the formulation of various problems of analysis and synthesis of systems is demonstrated. …”
