As a result, ABC can be used to estimate posterior distributions of parameters for simulation-based models. Simulation-based models are now very popular in cognitive science, as are Bayesian methods for performing parameter inference. As such, the recent developments of likelihood-free techniques are an important advancement for the field.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapters discuss the philosophy of Bayesian inference as well as provide several algorithms for performing ABC. Chapters also apply some of the algorithms in a tutorial fashion, with one specific application to the Minerva 2 model. In addition, the book discusses several applications of ABC methodology to recent problems in cognitive science.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLikelihood-Free Methods for Cognitive Science \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to researchers and graduate students working in experimental, applied, and cognitive science. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-02-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319724249\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-72425-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 129\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47525198364812,"sku":"9783319724249","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319724249.jpg?v=1776020038","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319724249","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
