Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) methods make use of comparisons between simulated and observed summary statistics to overcome the problem of computationally intractable likelihood functions. As the practical implementation of ABC requires computations based on vectors of summary statistics, rather than full data sets, a central question is how to derive low-dimensional summary statistics from the observed data with minimal loss of information. In this article we provide a comprehensive review and comparison of the performance of the principal methods of dimension reduction proposed in the ABC literature. The methods are split into three nonmutually exclusive classes consisting of best subset selection methods, projection techniques and regularization. In addition, we introduce two new methods of dimension reduction. The first is a best subset selection method based on Akaike and Bayesian information criteria, and the second uses ridge regression as a regularization procedure. We illustrate the performance of these dimension reduction techniques through the analysis of three challenging models and data sets.read more

An ABC Method for Whole-Genome Sequence Data: Inferring Paleolithic and Neolithic Human Expansions.
TL;DR: An approach for inferring past demographic events from a moderate number of fully sequenced genomes using Approximate Bayesian Computation and it is shown that a model consisting in a bottleneck followed by a Paleolithic and a Neolithic expansion is the most relevant for Eurasian populations.

Alive SMC2: Bayesian model selection for low‐count time series models with intractable likelihoods
TL;DR: A new method for performing Bayesian parameter inference and model choice for low‐ count time series models with intractable likelihoods is presented, which involves incorporating an alive particle filter within a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm to create a novel exact‐approximate algorithm, which is referred to as alive SMC 2.

A rare event approach to high-dimensional Approximate Bayesian computation
TL;DR: This article proposed a new approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) method for high dimensional data based on rare event methods which they refer to as RE-ABC, which uses a latent variable representation of the model and estimates the probability of the rare event that the latent variables correspond to data roughly consistent with the observations.

Estimating the Dimension of a Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of selecting one of a number of models of different dimensions is treated by finding its Bayes solution, and evaluating the leading terms of its asymptotic expansion.
