Parameter Estimation of State Space Models Using Particle Importance Sampling

Yuxiong Gao, Wentao Li, Rong Chen

State-space models have been used in many applications, including econometrics, engineering, medical research, etc. The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of the static parameter…

Optimal combination of composite likelihoods using approximate Bayesian computation with application to state-space models

Wentao Li, Rosabeth White, Dennis Prangle

Composite likelihood provides approximate inference when the full likelihood is intractable and sub-likelihood functions of marginal events can be evaluated relatively easily. It h…

Approximate confidence distribution computing

Suzanne Thornton, Wentao Li, Minge Xie

Approximate confidence distribution computing (ACDC) offers a new take on the rapidly developing field of likelihood-free inference from within a frequentist framework. The appeal…

Convergence of Regression Adjusted Approximate Bayesian Computation

Wentao Li, Paul Fearnhead

We present asymptotic results for the regression-adjusted version of approximate Bayesian computation introduced by Beaumont(2002). We show that for an appropriate choice of the ba…

On the Asymptotic Efficiency of Approximate Bayesian Computation Estimators

Wentao Li, Paul Fearnhead

Many statistical applications involve models for which it is difficult to evaluate the likelihood, but from which it is relatively easy to sample. Approximate Bayesian computation…
