Choice of summary statistic weights in approximate Bayesian computation.

Abstract excerpt

In this paper, we develop a Genetic Algorithm that can address the fundamental problem of how one should weight the summary statistics included in an approximate Bayesian computation analysis built around an accept/reject algorithm, and how one might choose the tolerance for that analysis. We then demonstrate that using weighted statistics, and a well-chosen tolerance, in such an approximate Bayesian computation...
