ABrox—A user-friendly Python module for approximate Bayesian computation with a focus on model comparison

We give an overview of the basic principles of approximate Bayesian computation (ABC), a class of stochastic methods that enable flexible and likelihood-free model comparison and parameter estimation. Our new open-source software called ABrox is used to illustrate ABC for model comparison on two pro...
