Topic Significance
SEM Not Used to Model Tipping Systems
Situation
What methods are currently used when modelling tipping systems?
Statistical Models?
Mechanistic Models?
Others?
Are there limitations or problems with these methods?
Where can SEM perform better or fill a gap?
Direct effects
Interaction Effects
INDIRECT EFFECTS!!!
Variables that are mediated by other variables
Problems Arising
Response
Why, if it can be used, is SEM good?
Where and why is SEM different?
What is a Tipping System?
Any kind of complex system where the state of that system can have abrupt changes from one state to another through small incremental changes in the variables that ultimately drive that system
They are difficult to model accurately?
CHECK THIS, CITATION
Why are they so difficult and therefore why do we need alternative methods?
Tipping Systems are found in climate systems, health, epidemiology, engineering, social systems.
