Run more generations of ABC SMC

Usage

continue_abc(
  object,
  tolerance = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  verbose = getOption("verbose", FALSE),
  post_gen = NULL
)

# S4 method for class 'SimInf_abc'
continue_abc(
  object,
  tolerance = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  verbose = getOption("verbose", FALSE),
  post_gen = NULL
)

Arguments

object: The SimInf_abc object to continue from.
tolerance: A numeric matrix (number of summary statistics \(\times\) number of generations) where each column contains the tolerances for a generation and each row contains a sequence of gradually decreasing tolerances. Can also be a numeric vector if there is only one summary statistic. The tolerance determines the number of generations of ABC-SMC to run.
data: Optional data to be passed to the SimInf_abc@fn function. Default is NULL.
verbose: prints diagnostic messages when TRUE. The default is to retrieve the global option verbose and use FALSE if it is not set.
post_gen: An optional function that, if non-NULL, is applied after each completed generation. The function must accept one argument of type SimInf_abc with the current state of the fitting process. This function can be useful to, for example, save and inspect intermediate results.

Value

A SimInf_abc object.
