"It is an extremely simple model but it predicts absolutely fantastically well all of the characteristics of biodiversity that we were interested in," said Ignacio Rodríguez-Iturbe, the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the leader of the research group that published the report in Nature. - aladrin, on 05/13/2008, -1/+2Umm... Since they already know the data, they built the model to -reflect- the data, not to predict it. In order to say it accurately predicts it, you'd have to have the model set up and then find many places that had not been measured. If the model was still correct, -then- it can be said to have predicted it.
You can make some pretty silly models that accurately reflect your current data... There's no guarantee they'll predict anything. - Tyfud, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1Anyone else think that guy in the video sounded like the perfect James Bond villain?
