Empirical agreement in model validation
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A 56:168-174 (2016)
Abstract
Empirical agreement is often used as an important criterion when assessing the validity of scientific models. However, it is by no means a sufficient criterion as a model can be so adjusted as to fit available data even though it is based on hypotheses whose plausibility is known to be questionable. Our aim in this paper is to investigate into the uses of empirical agreement within the process of model validation.Author Profiles
