This chapter introduces the long-run structural approach to modelling. It makes brief comparisons with the key alternative approaches, namely large-scale simultaneous equation models, unrestricted and structural VARs, dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models, and New Keynesian models. The strengths of the long-run structural modelling approach are summarized and the organization of the book is described.Less

This chapter discusses the meso- and large observational strategies to reduce critical uncertainties in future cloud changes. It first discusses the key aspects of cloud simulations in large-scale models and their impact on climate, and then discusses the evaluation of cloud properties simulated by large-scale models with ground-based data and satellite data. The cloud-climate metrics to assess the relative reliability of climate change–cloud feedbacks are also explored.Less

As the final chapter of the first section of the book on methods for constructing SPA models, chapter 7 presents a large-scale model that integrates many of the examples presented previously. The result is what is currently the world’s largest functional brain model, called the Semantic Pointer Architecture Unified Network (Spaun). Spaun’s inputs are images, and its output is moving a physically modelled arm. The anatomical and functional elements of Spaun are described, and the model is shown to perform 8 different perceptual, motor, and cognitive tasks. It is compared to a wide variety of data from neuroscience and psychology. In the final section of the book, a unification of symbolic and probabilistic approaches to cognitive modeling that is consistent with the SPA is presented.
