Possible to combine simulate and loss functions? about kissabc.jl

This issue can be worked around :)
you can use this function in your code:

function ABCplan(prior,costfunction;params=())
    fakedist(x,y)=x+y
    ABCplan(prior, costfunction, 0.0, fakedist; params=params)
end

example:

prior = Normal(0,1)
sim(x,other) = abs(x-1.5) #it returns a distance value
plan=ABCplan(prior, sim)
@show mean(ABCDE(plan,0.01,verbose=false)[1])
# mean((ABCDE(plan, 0.01, verbose = false))[1]) = 1.4993631135745822

as soon as the whole code stabilizes, i will maybe incorporate a function similar to that one inside the package, for now i added a test to make sure i don't accidentally prevent a use of my package via distance values only :)
