Prepaid parameter estimation without likelihoods
Fig 3
The mean absolute error of the estimates of four central parameters of the LCA (common input v, leakage γ, mutual inhibition κ, evidence threshold a) as a function of sample size (abscissa) and for three different methods: (1) choosing the nearest neighbor grid point in the space of summary statistics (, triangles); (2) using the average of a set of nearest neighbor grid points based on bootstrap samples (
, open circles) and (3) using SVM interpolation between the 100 nearest neighbors (
, crosses).
