reliable models SD0016

[saeed@ait.ac.th (Prof Khalid Sae]

It seems to me that John and Jim are perceiving each others definition of
data differently, although advocating the same thing - a rigorous fit of
the model to the problem addressed.

Having seen Johns work on fitting historical data to validate model
behavior, my impression is that John did not seek a point by point fit, but
a pattern fit. Jim also seems to be advocating a pattern fit when he talks
about seeking insights into a "problem." The problem in a dynamic framework
is a pattern which often resides in historical data. What was the argument,
again?
