DIYABC-RF

DIYABC-RF [1] is an inference software implementing Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) combined with supervised machine learning based on Random Forests (RF), for model choice and parameter inference in the context of population genetics analysis.

:warning: If you are looking for the previous DIYABC V2.1: please check here, however we are not maintaining this version anymore.


Documentation

The complete software documentation for the graphical user interface (GUI) and the command line interface (CLI) is available on the dedicated page.


Graphical User Interface

DIYABC-RF can be used through a graphical user interface (GUI) called DIYABC-RF GUI, please visit the dedicated page for more information (and especially installation instructions).

DIYABC-RF GUI is a simple and user friendly interface for the DIYABC-RF framework.

⚠️ Due to work overload, the development, support and maintenance for the project DIYABC-RF GUI is currently paused. Feel free to contact us (by submitting an issue) if you want to take over the development for this project. Pull request are also welcome to fix bug or implement missing functionalities. You can still use the command line version of the software which is still maintained/supported. Check the documentation page here. Thanks ⚠️

ℹ️ If you encounter any issue, please visit and report bug at DIYABC-RF GUI issue tracker.


Command line interface

For advanced users, it is possible to use DIYABC-RF as a command-line pipeline based on the command-line software diyabc and abcranger.

Please visit the dedicated page for more details.
