Stochastic approximation to understand simple simulation models
This paper illustrates how a deterministic approximation of a stochastic process can be usefully applied to analyse the dynamics of many simple simulation models. To demonstrate the type of results that can be obtained using this approximation, we present two illustrative examples which are meant to serve as methodological references for researchers exploring this area. Finally, we prove some c...
متن کاملUsing Multiple Models to Understand Data
A human’s ability to diagnose errors, gather data, and generate features in order to build better models is largely untapped. We hypothesize that analyzing results from multiple models can help people diagnose errors by understanding relationships among data, features, and algorithms. These relationships might otherwise be masked by the bias inherent to any individual model. We demonstrate this...
متن کاملUsing diffusion models to understand clinical disorders.
Sequential sampling models provide an alternative to traditional analyses of reaction times and accuracy in two-choice tasks. These models are reviewed with particular focus on the diffusion model (Ratcliff, 1978) and how its application can aide research on clinical disorders. The advantages of a diffusion model analysis over traditional comparisons are shown through simulations and a simple l...
متن کاملUsing Measurement Models to Understand Eyewitness Identification
Much research effort has been expended improving police lineup procedures used in collecting eyewitness identification evidence. Sequential presentation of lineup members, in contrast to simultaneous presentation, has been posited to increase witness accuracy, though analyses based in Signal Detection Theory (SDT) have challenged these claims. A possible way to clarify the effect of presentatio...
متن کاملUsing Simulation to Understand the Data Layout of Programs
One of the most prominent performance issues on NUMA systems is the access latency to remote memories, which can be several orders of magnitude higher than the one of local memory accesses. Effective data allocation that limits the necessity to access remote memories therefore has the potential to significantly improve the performance of applications. This paper presents a tool that simulates t...
