Does PyMC work for ABC SMC?

Hello everyone,

I am new here and also new to Bayesian modeling. I am working on a project that needs to use approximate Bayesian computation. I have seen many examples in the documentation and elsewhere using SMC-ABC in PyMC3, but none for the latest release.

I tried to implement a simple example using SMC with pm.sample_mc running in PyMC 4.0.0b6, but without success. From the new release, I could not understand whether this is my lack of knowledge of this framework or if it’s not an implemented feature.

Is SMC-ABC implemented in PyMC 4.0.0?

I thought my question would be relevant to this thread, but if necessary I can make a new post asking specifically about SMC in v4.

Thanks!
