Resolving outbreak dynamics using Approximate Bayesian Computation for stochastic birth-death models

2017-11-07

Abstract excerpt

Earlier research has suggested that Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) makes it possible to fit simulator-based intractable birth-death models to investigate communicable disease outbreak dynamics with accuracy comparable to that of exact Bayesian methods. However, recent findings have indicated that key parameters such as the reproductive number R may remain poorly identifiable. Here we show that the identif...
