A Note on Using Discretized Simulated Data to Estimate Implicit Likelihoods in Bayesian Analyses
share
This article presents a Bayesian inferential method where the likelihood for a model is unknown but where data can easily be simulated from the model. We discretize simulated (continuous) data to estimate the implicit likelihood in a Bayesian analysis employing a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. Three examples are presented as well as a small study on some of the method's properties.
