Description
Scientific Models and Decision Making by Eric Winsberg and Stephanie Harvard is an exploration of the philosophical literature on models in decision-making. The authors examine key questions in the philosophy of modeling, including how to determine model adequacy for specific purposes. The book delves into the significance of using models that are not adequate for their intended purpose, particularly when it comes to informing public decisions. It also provides a basic framework for values in modeling and highlights the ethical challenges involved in building models for decision-making. The authors conclude by emphasizing the need for strategies to manage value judgments in modeling. By considering these fundamental issues, Scientific Models and Decision Making offers valuable insights into the role of models in decision-making processes.
