Approximate Bayesian Computation with Missing Data
Approximate Bayesian Computation with missing data extends the likelihood-free ABC framework to settings where observations are incomplete or partially recorded. By simulating data under a posited model and accepting parameter draws whose simulated summary statistics are close to the observed ones, it bypasses the need to evaluate an intractable likelihood — even when some data values are absent.
