They are examples of models used by scientists to isolate and study particular aspects of the world around us. This book begins by introducing the concept of a scientific model from an intuitive perspective, drawing parallels to mental models and artistic representations. It then recounts the history of modelling from the 16th century up until the present day. The iterative process of model building is described and discussed in the context of complex models with high predictive accuracy versus simpler models that provide more of a conceptual understanding. To illustrate the diversity of opinions within the scientific community, we also present the results of an interview study, in which ten scientists from different disciplines describe their views on modelling and how models feature in their work. Lastly, it includes a number of worked examples thatspan different modelling approaches and techniques. It provides a comprehensive introduction to scientific models and shows how models are constructed and used in modern science. It also addresses the approach to, | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Prediction; Scientific models; philosophy of science; scientific method; forecast | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-27081-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-80068-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-27081-4 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 |
