lazyABCexample: Example lazy ABC implementation

In dennisprangle/lazyABCexample: Implement "Lazy ABC" paper example

Description

Implements lazy ABC on a SIR epidemic application.

Details

This R package implements an epidemics example from "Lazy ABC" Dennis Prangle (2014), available at http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.7867 **nb this example appears from v2 of this paper**

The package contains commands to simulate from the model of interest (SIRsim) and to perform lazy ABC, or standard ABC as a special case (lazyABC). Two scripts are also supplied as demos. Both perform the analysis in the paper. SIRproduction is the exact code used in the paper. SIRexample is a more user-friendly version (less code, more explanatory plots). The scripts can be run by demo(SIRexample) or demo(SIRproduction). They use parallel processing via mclapply, so the user may wish to run options(mc.cores=X) for some appropriate value of X before execution.
