Model Fit and Model Selection [PDF]
Review, 2007 This paper uses an example to show that a model that fits the available data perfectly may pro vide worse answers to policy questions than an alternative, imperfectly fitting model. The author argues that, in the context of Bayesian estimation, this result can be interpreted as being due to the use of an inappropriate prior over the parameters of shock

Model Selection in Threshold Models [PDF]
Journal of Time Series Analysis, 2001 This paper considers information criteria as model evaluation tools for nonlinear threshold models. Results concerning the consistency of information criteria in selecting the lag order of linear autoregressive models are extended to nonlinear autoregressive threshold models.

Risks, 2023 Stochastic mortality models seek to forecast future mortality rates; thus, it is apparent that the objective variable should be the mortality rate expressed in the original scale. However, the performance of stochastic mortality models—in terms, that is,

Computational Nosology and Precision Psychiatry [PDF]
Computational Psychiatry, 2017 This article provides an illustrative treatment of psychiatric morbidity that offers an alternative to the standard nosological model in psychiatry. It considers what would happen if we treated diagnostic categories not as causes of signs and symptoms ...

A model of selective migration [PDF]
Heredity, 1974 Individuals migrating between populations are normally assumed to be drawn at random from their base populations; migration is then a strong unifying force between the populations. Phenotypic assortment of migrants could however cause populations to diverge. A model is formulated to describe the effects of such selective migration on a metric character,
