I thought I would sneak in the back door of model analysis by
pretending that my model was just another complex system and then search
for ways to
analyse complex systems. But what did I find? Lots of suggestions to analyse
complex systems using…. computer models. Doh! Now there’s a good
idea- create a complex system to analysis your complex system and then
analysis your new complex system by…. uhoh.
I did come across this
cool looking course that at least lists some relevant topics.
I also started having more luck with the search ‘analysis complex
systems’. I found
The center for the
study of complex systems, which notes: “The mathematical techniques of
the
complex system approach include: nonlinear dynamics, especially
differential equations, difference equations and cellular automata, game
theory, Markov processes, genetic algorithms, graph theory and time series
analysis.” I guess that’s a start.
