WIREs Computational Statistics, 2010 AbstractThe social sciences investigate human and social dynamics and organization at all levels of analysis (consilience), including cognition, decision making, behavior, groups, organizations, societies, and the world system. Computational social science is the integrated, interdisciplinary pursuit of social inquiry with emphasis on information ...

Computational Social Science and Sociology. [PDF]
Annu Rev Sociol, 2020 The integration of social science with computer science and engineering fields has produced a new area of study: computational social science. This field applies computational methods to novel sources of digital data such as social media, administrative records, and historical archives to develop theories of human behavior.

Computational reproducibility in computational social science
EPJ Data ScienceOpen science practices have been widely discussed and have been implemented with varying success in different disciplines. We argue that computational-x disciplines such as computational social science, are also susceptible to the symptoms of the crises,

Analytical sociology and computational social science. [PDF]
J Comput Soc Sci, 2018 Analytical sociology focuses on social interactions among individuals and the hard-to-predict aggregate outcomes they bring about. It seeks to identify generalizable mechanisms giving rise to emergent properties of social systems which, in turn, feed back on individual decision-making.

Mechanistic models in computational social science [PDF]
Frontiers in Physics, 2015 Quantitative social science is not only about regression analysis or, in general, data inference. Computer simulations of social mechanisms have an over 60 years long history. They have been used for many different purposes—to test scenarios, to test the

Computational Social Science for Public Policy [PDF]
, 2023 Abstract Computational Social Science (CSS), which brings together the power of computational methods and the analytical rigour of the social sciences, has the potential to revolutionise policymaking. This growing field of research can help governments take advantage of large-scale data on human behaviour and provide policymakers with ...
