Likelihood-Free Inference via Structured Score Matching
基于结构化得分匹配的无似然推断
In many statistical problems, the data distribution is specified through a generative process for which the likelihood function is analytically intractable, yet inference on the associated model parameters remains of primary interest. We develop a likelihood-free inference framework that combines score matching with gradient-based optimization and bootstrap procedures to facilitate parameter estimation together with uncertainty quantification. The proposed methodology…
