Disclosing the truth: Are models better than observations?

چکیده
The aphorism, ‘All models are wrong, but some useful’, originally referred to statistical models, is now used for scientific in general. When presenting results from a marine simulation model, this statement effectively stops discussions about the quality of as there always another observation mismatch, and thereby confirmation why model cannot be trusted. It common that observations less challenged often viewed ‘gold standard’ judging whereas proper interpretations true value overlooked. Models not perfect, many examples where improperly provide misleading answers with great confidence, what extent does an represent truth? precision observational gear may high, representativeness? interpretation simply time coded computer language rather formed by individual observer. We submit it would more productive initiate process norm joined strengthen both. In end, neither method goal, both useful tools disclosing truth. Biased views on either or modeling approaches limit us achieving goal.

This paper uses Markov-switching specifications to create a hybrid model with time-varying loading on each of chartist and fundamentalist approaches. The empirical data include the U.S. dollar exchange rates of four Asian tiger countries’ currencies including NTD, SGD, HKD and KOW from 1980 to 2000. Our empirical findings are consistent with the following notions. First, the forecasting perform...

The central aim of this study was to clarify whether sign language (SL) nativeness is a significant factor in determining prelingually deaf individuals' reading skills and whether its contribution is modified by the reader's orthographic background. A second aim was to elucidate similarities and differences between native and nonnative signers in processing written information at different proc...
