A problem with Ockham's Razor is that nearly everybody seems to accept it, but few are able to define its exact meaning and to make it operational in a non-arbitrary way. Using a multidisciplinary perspective including philosophers, mathematicians, econometricians and economists, this monograph examines simplicity by asking six questions: What is meant by simplicity? How is simplicity measured? Is there an optimum trade-off between simplicity and goodness-of-fit? What is the relation between simplicity and empirical modelling? What is the relation between simplicity and prediction? What is the connection between simplicity and convenience?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51940685611296,"sku":"NEW0521121353","price":68.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/simplicity-inference-and-modelling-keeping-it-sophisticatedly-simple-0521121353","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
