Why Monte Carlo Simulations are Inferences and not Experiments
Monte Carlo method computer simulations inference experiment randomness

Monte Carlo Simulations arrive at their results by introducing randomness, sometimes derived from a physical randomizing device. Nonetheless, we argue, they open no new epistemic channels beyond that ...

Using four examples of models and computer simulations from the history of psychology, I discuss some of the methodological aspects involved in their construction and use, and I illustrate how the exi...

The aim of this paper is to argue that simulation is the activity of inferring future states. I argue that
simulations instantiate models and that models are complexes of representations, so the infe...

Simulation techniques, especially those implemented on a computer, are frequently employed in natural as well as in social sciences with considerable success. There is mounting evidence that the "mode...

A computer simulation runs a model generating a phenomenon under investigation. For the simulation to be explanatory, the model has to be explanatory. The model must be isomorphic to the natural syste...
Can simulations be explanatory an why do they seem not to be?
Simulations Models Explanation Physics

2008/4/10
Computer simulations are usually considered to be non-explanatory because, when a simulation reveals that a property is instantiated in a system, it does not enable the exact identification of what it...
