| Short Description | a web server to simulate sequences with indel parameters inferred using an approximate Bayesian computation algorithm |
| Long Description | SpartaABC is an Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) reject algorithm to infer indel parameters from sequence data. It focuses on the inference of three indel parameters: IR — the indel-to-substitution rate ratio, A — the shape parameter for the power law distribution controlling the indel length, and RL — the root length parameter. SpartaABC extracts a vector of summary statistics from its input; it then performs repeated simulations using an integrated sequence simulator (Fletcher and Yang 2009, Cartwright 2016) under various indel parameters. From each such simulated dataset it extracts a vector of summary statistics and computes its distance from the vector extracted for the input using a weighted Euclidean distance. |
