Hierarchical Approximate Bayesian Computation/Evidence
Method evidence record

Hierarchical Approximate Bayesian Computation

Hierarchical ABC is a likelihood-free Bayesian inference method designed for multilevel data structures in which individual-level parameters are themselves drawn from a population-level distribution. By combining simulation-based rejection sampling with hierarchical pooling, it recovers both within-group and between-group posterior distributions without requiring a tractable likelihood function.
