ABCPRC

ABCPRC is an Approximate Bayesian Computation Particle Rejection Scheme designed to perform model fitting on individual-based models.

Setup

To setup, first download a local copy and then run

python setup.py install

Introduction

Import as

import ABCPRC as prc

A fitting class is setup using

m = prc.ABC()

You can then either use the built-in tolerances or fit your own using

m.fit()

The fitting can then be performed using

m.run(num_particles)

and the results shown (using seaborn),

m.trace(plot=True)

Testing

Tests are run using the python nose2 package. To install run

pip install nose2
pip install cov-core

and tests can be performed running the command

nose2 --with-coverage
