Abstract: | In this paper we employ a novel method to find the optimal design for problems where the likelihood is not available analytically, but simulation from the likelihood is feasible. To approximate the expected utility we make use of approximate Bayesian computation methods. We detail the approach for a model on spatial extremes, where the goal is to find the optimal design for efficiently estimating the parameters determining the dependence structure. The method is applied to determine the optimal design of weather stations for modeling maximum annual summer temperatures. |
