Robust Approximate Bayesian Computation
Robust ABC extends standard Approximate Bayesian Computation to handle outliers, model misspecification, and sensitivity to summary statistic choice. By replacing conventional distance measures with robust alternatives — such as composite scores, trimmed statistics, or synthetic likelihoods — it protects posterior inference from being distorted by atypical observations or an imperfect simulator.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
