This book progressively works out a method of constructing models which can bridge the gap between empirical and theoretical research in the social sciences. This might improve the explanatory power of models. The issue is quite novel, and it benefited from a thorough examination of statistical and mathematical models, conceptual models, diagrams and maps, machines, computer simulations, and artificial neural networks. These modelling practices have been approached through different disciplines. ..The proposed method is partly inspired by reverse engineering. The standard covering law approach is abandoned, and classical induction restored to its rightful place. It helps to solve several difficulties which impact upon the social sciences today, for example how to extend an explanatory model to new phenomena, how to establish laws, and how to guide the choice of a conceptual structure. ..The book can be used for advanced courses in research methods in the social sciences and in philosophy of science.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | | 关键词 | Empirical Research; Infant Mortality; Simulation; philosophy of science; science | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-4676-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-6122-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-4676-6Series ISSN 1572-7750 Series E-ISSN 2542-9892 | | issn_series | 1572-7750 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2002 |
