Introduction to an Introduction to Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC)

Last week I re-blogged a post introducing Approximate Bayesian Computation. I thought some of the content was a little foreign, so I wanted to give an intro to the intro. ABC core concept Say we have a process that is controlled by a parameter - say the slope in $latex y = m\cdot x+b$, or… Continue reading Introduction to an Introduction to Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC)

Basic Mathematical Biology Programming Part II

Programming elements that are used to perform basic mathematical calculations include: Arrays Matrices Equations or Simple functions Math functions See my previous post about the first two here. This post will deal with the latter two.  Equations or Simple functions The simplest problem to be solved via programming would be the solution to a single… Continue reading Basic Mathematical Biology Programming Part II
