Modeling causal structures:Volterra's struggle and Darwin's success
Modeling Causal inference Volterra Predator-prey-model Darwin Coral atolls
2016/6/15
The Lotka-Volterra predator-prey-model is a widely known example of model-based science. Here we reexamine Vito Volterra's and Umberto D'Ancona's original publications on the model, and in particular ...
Eco-phenotypic physiologies:a new kind of modeling for unifying evolution,ecology and cultural transmission
evolutionary theory economics cultural transmission mathematical modeling philosophy of biology niche construction phenotypic plasticity ecology
2016/6/15
Mathematical modeling can ground communication and reciprocal enrichment among fields of knowledge whose domains are very different. We propose a new mathematical model applicable in biology, specifie...
Synthetic Modeling and Mechanistic Account:Material Recombination and Beyond
Dynamic mechanistic explanations mathematical models synthetic models genetic circuits noise modularity integration
2016/5/30
Recently, Bechtel and Abrahamsen have argued that mathematical models study the dynamics of mechanisms by recomposing the components and their operations into an appropriately organized system. We wil...
The notion of (computational) template has recently been discussed in relation to cross-disciplinary transfer of modeling efforts and in relation to the representational content of models. We further ...
Modeling and Experimenting
Models Modeling Experiments Data
2009/9/17
Experimental activity is traditionally identified with testing the empirical implications or numerical simulations of models against data. In critical reaction to the ‘tribunal view’ on experiments, t...
Making Sense of Modeling: Beyond Representation
models modeling use epistemic value fluid mechanics
2009/9/17
It has recently been aptly emphasized that how models are used is essential to what scientific models are. But the explanations of why and how a model is used or why a model is scientifically valuable...
Theoretical technologies in an “experimental” setting: empirical modeling of proteinic objects and simulation of their dynamics within scientific collaborations around a supercomputer
biophysics protein chemistry models simulation experimental data
2009/9/8
This paper examines, as a case study, some modeling and simulating practices in protein chemistry. In this field, theorists try to grasp proteinic objects by constructing models of their structures an...
Global Climate Modeling as Applied Science
Global Climate Models applied science simulations
2009/3/31
In this paper I argue that the appropriate analogy for “understanding what makes simulation results reliable” in Global Climate Modeling is not with scientific experimentation or measurement, but—at l...

In this paper I argue that the appropriate analogy for “understanding what makes simulation results reliable” in Global Climate Modeling is not with scientific experimentation or measurement, but—at l...
THE PHILOSOPHY AND PRACTICALITY OF MODELING INVOLVING COMPLEX SYSTEMS
PHILOSOPHY PRACTICALITY
2008/10/28
In this paper we outline the philosophy of the models and modeling perspectives of learning. The paper is based on the Taoist premise that the true structure of things is irreducible to formal stateme...
Learning from a simulated universe: the limits of realistic modeling in astrophysics and cosmology.
Computers models and simulations Realism Cosmology
2008/4/22
As noticed recently by Winsberg (2003), how computer models and simulations get their epistemic credentials remains in need of epistemological scrutiny. My aim in this paper is to contribute to fill t...
The optimality approach to modeling natural selection has been criticized by many biologists and philosophers of biology. For instance, Lewontin (1979) argues that the optimality approach is a shortcu...
Qualitative Scientific Modeling and Loop Analysis
models and idealization qualitative analysis
2008/4/22
Loop analysis is a method of qualitative modeling anticipated by Sewall Wright and systematically developed by Richard Levins. In Levins’ (1966) distinctions between modeling strategies, loop analysis...
Modeling Reality

2008/4/15
My aim in this paper is to articulate an account of scientific modeling that reconciles pluralism about modeling with a modest form of scientific realism. The central claim of this approach is that th...
