modelleringafhankelijkheid
Modelleringafhankelijkheid refers to the dependence of conclusions on the modeling process. It describes how outputs such as estimates, forecasts, or decisions can change when different plausible modeling choices are made, including data selection and preprocessing, model structure and parametrization, and underlying assumptions. In many domains, multiple reasonable models exist, and their agreement or disagreement reflects this dependence rather than a single truth.
Causes include specification choices (which variables to include, functional form, and simplifications), data limitations and quality,
Mitigating Modelleringafhankelijkheid involves several practices: sensitivity analysis to identify influential assumptions; uncertainty quantification and ensemble methods
