delfi
delfi is a Python package for density estimation likelihood-free inference.
Different inference algorithms are implemented:
- A basic version of a likelihood-free inference algorithm that uses a mixture-density network to approximate the posterior density
- The algorithm proposed in the paper Fast ε-free Inference of Simulation Models with Bayesian Conditional Density Estimation (Papamakarios & Murray, 2016)
- Sequential Neural Posterior Estimation, as proposed in the paper Flexible statistical inference for mechanistic models of neural dynamics (Lueckmann, Goncalves, Bassetto, Öcal, Nonnenmacher & Macke, 2017)
