Statistical methods that do not rely on an explicit model choice have unfortunately not attracted much attention in the philosophy of statistics, but for completeness sake they will be briefly discussed here.
As he says, this obsession is at this point deeply embedded in the academic incentive structure: If you think that only 'modelling what you can microfound' is so obviously wrong that it cannot possibly be defended, you obviously have never had a referee's report which rejected your paper because one of your modelling choices had 'no clear microfoundations'.
The choice of the climate change and the air quality model reflected the greatest source of uncertainty, with the other modeling choices having lesser but still substantial effects.
The entropy-based model of probabilistic choice has an advantage that each parameter has specific psychological correlates (i.e. psychophysics of probability estimation and aversion to lack of information).
People have supported the voucher program, as it is named 'school choice,' and this discourse allows parents to feel empowered, through giving them a neoliberalized model of choice: have your child attend a failing public school or an unregulated charter school or a parochial private school.
We have made a number of assumptions in the model choices we have made that could have influenced our results.
Based on these findings, several types of parametric models of probabilistic choice have been proposed in behavioral economics, ecology, psychopharmacology, and neuroeconomics as introduced below.
Although the models provided by social choice have improved our understanding of many familiar collective decision problems such as elections, referenda and legislative decisions, they focus primarily on collective choices between alternative outcomes such as candidates, policies or actions.
Several models for splice site choice have been proposed, including the competition between antagonistic splicing factors (e.g., ASF/SF2 and hnRNP A1) and U1 snRNP [ 59- 61], a scanning mechanism [ 62], or cis-acting motifs with different free-energy for binding U1 snRNP and splice factors between competing sites [ 26].
