Added ABC inference using ApproxBayes.jl

[marcjwilliams1]

Initial version of abc_inference which uses the ApproxBayes package to do Approximate Bayesian Computation inference.

It looks like the PR is missing src/abc_inference.jl and test/abc.jl?

[marcjwilliams1]

Sorry, I've managed to make a new PR rather than add it here. How do I do that properly? I did PkgDev.submit("DiffEqBayes") again

[ChrisRackauckas]

PkgDev.submit is not for submitting PRs to repositories. It's for submitting tags to METADATA.jl. Here's a video that shows how to do this package dev stuff:

Thanks, I'll take a look at the video.

I followed what was outlined in the code changes section in the julia docs: https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/manual/packages/#Packages-1

[ChrisRackauckas]

That page is for the package manager and submitting packages to the METADATA.jl registry, but not for actually working on packages themselves.

[marcjwilliams1]

ok fair enough, seems a bit confusing to me then. I imagine others might think similarly, ie this is pasted from the docs

Here we assume you've already set up git on your local machine and have a GitHub account (see above). Let's imagine you're fixing a bug in the Images package:

Pkg.checkout("Images")           # check out the master branch
<here, make sure your bug is still a bug and hasn't been fixed already>
cd(Pkg.dir("Images"))
;git checkout -b myfixes         # create a branch for your changes
<edit code>                      # be sure to add a test for your bug
Pkg.test("Images")               # make sure everything works now
;git commit -a -m "Fix foo by calling bar"   # write a descriptive message
using PkgDev
PkgDev.submit("Images")

The last line will present you with a link to submit a pull request to incorporate your changes.

anyway, thanks for the video, I'll follow that procedure in future
