Simulating Nature A Philosophical Study of Computer-Simulation Uncertainties and Their Role in Climate Science and Policy Advice Second Edition

Simulating Nature A Philosophical Study of Computer-Simulation Uncertainties and Their Role in Climate Science and Policy Advice Second Edition

Computer simulation has become an important means for obtaining knowledge about nature. The practice of scientific simulation and the frequent use of uncertain simulation results in public policy raise a wide range of philosophical questions. Most prominently highlighted is the field of anthropogenic climate change are humans currently changing the climate? Referring to empirical results from science studies and political science Simulating Nature: A Philosophical Study of Computer-Simulation Uncertainties and Their Role in Climate Science and Policy Advice Second Edition addresses questions about the types of uncertainty associated with scientific simulation and about how these uncertainties can be communicated. The author who participated in the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) plenaries in 2001 and 2007 discusses the assessment reports and workings of the IPCC. This second edition reflects the latest developments in climate change policy including a thorough update and rewriting of sections that refer to the IPCC. | Simulating Nature A Philosophical Study of Computer-Simulation Uncertainties and Their Role in Climate Science and Policy Advice Second Edition

Advances on Models Characterizations and Applications

Advances on Models Characterizations and Applications

Statistical distributions are one of the most important applied mathematical tools across a wide spectrum of disciplines including engineering biological sciences and health and social sciences. Since they are used to model observed data and ultimately to develop inferential procedures understanding the properties of statistical distributions is critical to developing optimal inferential methods and validating the resulting model assumptions. Advances on Models Characterizations and Applications offers up-to-date information on many recent developments in the field. Comprising fourteen self-contained chapters contributed by internationally renowned experts this book delineates recent developments on characterizations and other important properties of several distributions inferential issues related to these models and several applications of the models to real-world problems. Each chapter is rich with references for further study or more in-depth information on each topic and reflects work presented at the International Conference on Advances on Characterizations Models and Applications held in Antalya Turkey in December 2001. Advances on Models Characterizations and Applications provides an updated account of important properties of statistical distributions that reflects their deep importance and broad application and is a welcome addition to the literature.
