Examples of open research practices
Open Methods: Jan Kokko and colleagues have been exploring the likelihood-free inference method, a methodological branch of statistics which is commonly used within simulation-based models in disciplines such as population genetics and astronomy. In their recent work (2019), they introduce an open-access Python adaptation of the Likelihood-Free Inference by Ratio Estimation (LFIRE), abbreviated as PYLFIRE. Based on penalised logistic regression, PYLFIRE can be accessed via the open-source inference software ELFI.
