Abstract
Approximate Bayesian Computation(ABC) is a likelihood-free technique to compute/sample the posterior distribution of parameters from observed data. It has become popular in recent years due to its adaptability and flexibility. In this talk, I shall explain how ABC works with various sampling methods and provide some convergence results on cost-error trade off.
