Heads and Hearts: Three Methods for Explicating Judgment and Decision Processes

Thorngate, Warren - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 18 (2015) 1, pp. 14-14

Agent-based models are more likely to generate accurate outputs if they incorporate valid representations of human agents than if they don't. The present article outlines three research methodologies commonly used for explicating the cognitive processes and motivational orientations of human...

Generating 1/fβ noise with a low-dimensional attractor characteristic: its significance for atomic vibrations in proteins and cognitive data

Coza, A.; Morariu, V.V. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 320 (2003) C, pp. 449-460

We propose an iterative correlator with random seeds as a method to generate series characterized by a low-dimensional attractor (D≈4.65) and scaling properties described by a power law P=1/fa where 0a≈2. The method basically introduces an interaction factor between the terms of the series....
