- Model Theory - University of South Carolina
Model theory is the branch of logic that deals with mathematical structures and the formal languages they interpret First order logic is the most important formal language and its model theory is a rich and interesting subject with significant applications to the main body of mathematics
- Introduction to Mathematical Modeling - Oregon State University
A mechanistic or scientific model begins with a description of how nature might work, and proceeds from this description to a set of predictions relating the independent and dependent variables
- Basic Model Theory - Stanford University
It covers the logical, linguistic, psychological and information-theoretic parts of the cognitive sciences as well as math- ematical tools for them The emphasis is on the theoretical and inter- disciplinary aspects of these areas
- WHAT IS A STATISTICAL MODEL?1 - University of Chicago
In this paper, these concepts are defined in algebraic terms, using morphisms, functors and natural transformations It is argued that inference on the basis of a model is not possible unless the model admits a natural extension that includes the domain for which inference is required
- CHAPTER 5 Mathematical Modeling Using First Order ODE
tep 1: UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS IN THE APPLICATION AREA In order to answer specific questions, we wish to develop a mathematical model (or problem) whos solution will answer the specific questions of interest Before we can build a mathematical model, we must first understand the concepts needed from the applica
- Introduction to Hidden Markov Models - Scholars at Harvard
A hidden Markov model is a tool for representing prob-ability distributions over sequences of observations [1] In this model, an observation Xt at time t is produced by a stochastic process, but the state Zt of this process cannot be directly observed, i e it is hidden [2]
- Model Verification and Validation - University of Chicago
The model validation phase ended up taking as long as the model development phase In the end, however, it was generally accepted that the model was a valid one for answering a wide range of important questions pertaining to electric power deregulation
- The Nature and Structure of Scientific Models
Models are a central topic of discussion in contemporary science education with debates centering on the pros and cons of including a modeling perspective in science curricula and on pragmatic strategies for designing classrooms that enable students to learn about science as a modeling endeavor
