Hi everyone, I’m new here and new to Bayesian modeling. I’m working on something that involves approximate bayesian inference with a physics engine (the physics engine is the simulator). Is it possible to use PyMC to perform ABC SMC with an external (i.e. not written in PyMC) simulator? Thanks!

Does PyMC work for ABC SMC?

And here is the pm.Simulator() documentation that I can never seem to find.
