Question 1

1. A policy informatics analyst is a person who is positioned to actually execute

a policy informatics initiative.

True

False

 

Question 2

1. The standard view refers to the well-known questions and methods of verification,

namely whether the code does what it is supposed to do and whether there are

any bugs, and validation, namely whether the outputs (for given inputs/parameters)

resemble observations of the target, although (because the processes being modelled

are stochastic and because of unmeasured factors) identical outputs are not to be

expected, as discussed in detail in Gilbert and Troitzsch (1997).

 

True

False

Question 3

1. Validating a simulation against empirical data is about comparing “the real world” and the simulation output; it is comparing  what you observe as the real world with what you observe as the output.

True

True

False
