Estimation of parameters for macroparasite population evolution using approximate Bayesian computation

CC Drovandi, AN Pettitt - Biometrics, 2011 - academic.oup.com
We estimate the parameters of a stochastic process model for a macroparasite population
within a host using approximate Bayesian computation (ABC). The immunity of the host is an …

Bayesian synthetic likelihood

LF Price, CC Drovandi, A Lee… - Journal of Computational …, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Having the ability to work with complex models can be highly beneficial. However, complex
models often have intractable likelihoods, so methods that involve evaluation of the …

Likelihood-free Bayesian estimation of multivariate quantile distributions

CC Drovandi, AN Pettitt - Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 2011 - Elsevier
In this paper, we present new multivariate quantile distributions and utilise likelihood-free
Bayesian algorithms for inferring the parameters. In particular, we apply a sequential Monte …

Approximate Bayesian computation using indirect inference

CC Drovandi, AN Pettitt, MJ Faddy - Journal of the Royal …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
We present a novel approach for developing summary statistics for use in approximate
Bayesian computation (ABC) algorithms by using indirect inference. ABC methods are …

A sequential Monte Carlo algorithm to incorporate model uncertainty in Bayesian sequential design

CC Drovandi, JM McGree, AN Pettitt - Journal of Computational …, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
This article presents a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithm that can be used for any one-
at-a-time Bayesian sequential design problem in the presence of model uncertainty where …

Unlocking data sets by calibrating populations of models to data density: A study in atrial electrophysiology
