About the Event

Computational and cognitive modelling refers to a broad class of statistical methods that involve algorithmic or mathematical descriptions of a particular process or phenomena.

Typically implemented in computer code, computational models allow researchers to create representations of complex systems and better understand the exact processes underlying phenomena of interest (Weinhardt & Vancouver, 2012). Computational modelling plays an important role in the development of rigorous formal theories. When compared with conventional approaches, it can help researchers to explain their data in new and more theoretically principled ways, and can generate new insights about human behaviour and organisational dynamics.

This workshop will introduce participants to the foundations of computational modelling, and provide exposure to many of the key concepts, including types of model, model formulation, parameter estimation, evaluating model accuracy, and simulations. Real-world examples will be provided at various stages in the presentation. The remainder of the session will be open for…
