Using Exploratory Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
The chapter has three sections. The first of these describes the evolving defense environment, to show the need for tools that allow analysis of situations dominated by uncertainty. It also briefly discusses combat models in general and the Joint Integrated Contingency Model (JICM) in particular, covering some features of the JICM that make it especially suitable for exploratory modeling. Finally, the section compares conventional sensitivity analysis to exploratory modeling.

Development and Validation of Teacher Emotional Support Scale: a structural equation modeling approach
Reviewing the literature indicated that no validated model was found that examine the extent to which teachers support their students emotionally in EFL classrooms. Therefore the present study elaborated on this issue through developing and validating a teacher emotional support scale in an Iranian English foreign language context. Main components of the scale have been specified based on Hamre...
متن کاملStable Specification Searches in Structural Equation Modeling Using a Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm
Structural equation modelling (SEM) is a statistical technique for testing and estimating causal relations using a combination of statistical data and qualitative causal assumptions [1]– [3]. SEM allows for both confirmatory and exploratory modeling. In exploratory modeling one starts with the specification of a hypothesis, which is tested against measurements by measuring how well the model fi...

This paper presents an exploratory study in the context of composition of domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs). It aims evaluating a composition method using Ecore-based DSMLs based on xText tool. The study was performed applying the method to modelling a composition of DSMLs from the domain of controlled experiments in software engineering. The study consists of four different DSMLs, who...

Article history: Received 1 November 2006 Received in revised form 29 March 2007 Accepted 17 April 2007 Exploratorymodeling is an approach used when process and/or parameter uncertainties are such that modeling attempts at realistic prediction are not appropriate. Exploratory modeling makes use of computational experimentation to test how varying model scenarios drive model outcome. The goal of...
متن کاملData Reduction Methods Applied to Understanding Complex Learning Hypotheses
Modern learning science researchers are facing a flood of data as it becomes easier and easier to collect multiple streams of information from students before, during, and after learning experiments. While oftentimes these experiments do experimentally manipulate specific variables to improve responses on a posttest, these experiments are also interested in how the many related student factors ...
