“…However, the ABC methods have limited applicability in settings of highdimensional data and costly simulations [16,27,32], constituting a bottleneck for their broader adoption in settings of complex simulation models. Therefore, applicability of the BOLFI method for calibrating the Preday ABM to a new urban environment is limited, and neither of the proposed solutions, such as dimensionality reduction [7,35], or introduction of synthetic parametric/nonparametric likelihoods [2,30,32,37,42], circumvent the obstacle. Namely, the former requires increased number of simulations, while the latter are applicable to problems with low number of parameters.…”
