Empiricism versus apriorism in macroeconomic research : is the current research paradigm of economics inherently incapable of predicting recessions
… complex, heterogeneous phenomena in the name of mathematical tractability. This tendancy to over-aggregate is inherent in the empiricist methodology that currently enjoys a near-exclusive monopoly in the discipline. An alternative methodology, the causal-realist approach of the Austrian school of …

The role of background flow variations in stratified flows over topography
… extensively. For reasons of convenience and mathematical tractability, the majority of theoretical treatments of stratified flow over a finite-amplitude obstacle assume idealized background flow conditions, namely constant free-stream velocity and either a homogeneous or two-layer …

Asymptotic Analysis of Some Stochastic Models from Population Dynamics and Population Genetics
… A. Fisher and Sewall Wright devised an elegant, mathematically tractable model of gene reproduction and replacement that laid the foundation for contemporary population genetics. The Wright-Fisher model and its extensions have given biologists powerful tools of statistical inference that enabled …

Sparse selection in Cox models with functional predictors
… assumption is posed for the trajectories for mathematical tractability. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the finite sample performance of the methods, and a way to construct the confidence interval for the location parameter, i.e., the sensitive point, is proposed. The proposed method is …

The Reasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences
… Given that the construction and manipulation of mathematical representations is pervaded by uncertainty, error, approximation, and idealization, how can their apparently uncanny accuracy be explained? I argue that this question has found no satisfactory answer because our rational reconstruction …

Stability and Control in Complex Networks of Dynamical Systems
… The former model is often used due to mathematical tractability while the latter has been shown to be a better model for most real life networks. The recent emergence of cyber physical systems, and in particular the smart grid, has given rise to a number of engineering questions …

Achieving network resiliency using sound theoretical and practical methods
… and unjustifiable assumptions that allow for mathematical tractability while sacrificing accuracy. Second, the security and reliability communities often lack clear definitions of success criteria when comparing different system models and designs. Third, system designers often make implicit …
