Probably approximate Bayesian computation: nonasymptotic convergence of ABC under misspecification
James Ridgway
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a widely used inference method in Bayesian statistics to bypass the point-wise computation of the likelihood. In this paper we develop the…

Concentration of tempered posteriors and of their variational approximations
Pierre Alquier, James Ridgway
While Bayesian methods are extremely popular in statistics and machine learning, their application to massive datasets is often challenging, when possible at all. Indeed, the class…

Sampling normalizing constants in high dimensions using inhomogeneous diffusions
Christophe Andrieu, James Ridgway, Nick Whiteley
Motivated by the task of computing normalizing constants and importance sampling in high dimensions, we study the dimension dependence of fluctuations for additive functionals of t…
