Approximate Bayesian Computation for a Class of Time Series Models
In the following article we consider approximate Bayesian computation (ABC)
for certain classes of time series models. In particular, we focus upon
scenarios where the likelihoods of the observations and parameter are
intractable, by which we mean that one cannot evaluate the likelihood even
up-to a positive unbiased estimate. This paper reviews and develops a class of
approximation procedures based upon the idea of ABC, but, specifically
maintains the probabilistic structure of the original statistical model. This
idea is useful, in that it can facilitate an analysis of the bias of the
approximation and the adaptation of established computational methods for
parameter inference. Several existing results in the literature are surveyed
and novel developments with regards to computation are given
Measurement of Electroweak Vector Boson Pair Production in pp Collision with the CMS Detector at LHC
We present an overview of measurements of electroweak vector boson pair
production and anomalous Triple Gauge Couplings (aTGC), with semileptonic and
fully leptonic final states. The data analyzed were taken at center of mass
energy of 7 & 8 TeV by the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The
cross-section measurements are important because they are test of the Standard
Model predictions, while these processes serve as background for Higgs searches
and various other processes
