Abstract
Models of natural processes necessarily sacrifice some realism for the sake of tractability. Detailed, parameter-rich models often provide accurate estimates of system behaviour but can be data-hungry and difficult to operationalize. Moreover, complexity increases the danger of ‘over-fitting’, which leads to poor performance when models are applied to novel conditions. This challenge is typically described in terms of a trade-off between bias...
