Data-Based Mechanistic (DBM) Modelling

  • First Online:
Recursive Estimation and Time-Series Analysis

Abstract

So far in this book, I have concentrated on the development, implementation and evaluation of various recursive estimation algorithms. But such estimation algo- rithms, no matter how elegant and potentially powerful, are not an end in themselves: they are only worth developing if they perform a practically useful function in the wider context of mathematicalmodelling. In this final chapter, therefore, these estimation algorithms are considered in a more philosophical manner and linked together in terms of their ability to service the requirements of a general approach to stochastic, dynamic modelling from time series data that I have called Data-Based Mechanistic (DBM) modelling.
