Computational modeling is now ubiquitous in psychology, and researchers who are not modelers may find it increasingly difficult to follow the theoretical developments in their field. Researchers and students are given the knowledge and tools to interpret models published in their area, as well as to develop, fit, and test their own models. This book presents an integrated framework for the development and application of models in psychology and related disciplines.
A number of chapters are devoted to fitting models using maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation, including fitting hierarchical and mixture models. Both the development of models and key features of any model are covered, as are the applications of models in a variety of domains across the behavioural sciences. Model comparison is described as a core philosophy of scientific inference, and the use of models to understand
