| Oct 2, 2016 at 20:00 | comment | added | RubenLaguna | I edited the OP to give more context to the example. The guy in the books uses ABC as an speed optimization and too avoid numerical errors due to very small likelihood of that specific sample. So he uses the sample statistics instead of sample itself to compute likelihood to avoid these problems. But the my question is really about the validity of method to compute the likelihood of a sample with a given standard deviation, not the ABC itself. | |

Tried to explain better the example
