Abstract: | A mathematical model of a process contains parameters supposedly characterizing the system which manifests the process. If
the parameters are statistically distributed in a population of such systems, the process manifested by the entire population
will in general be described by a different mathematical model. Thus a choice is always at hand between two or more mathematical
models, depending on which parameters (if any) are assumed to be distributed and, if so, how.
Examples of such alternative interpretations are given for mathematical models of some behavioral processes. |
