What's new (besides previously published papers):

(1/4) an introduction explaining the logic of fitting normative models behavioral data (what I call "inverse normative modeling" in the thesis) and why that approach is promising for modeling continuous and sequential behavior - Chapter 1

Nice blog post! I agree that we should be precise about the assumptions behind models and what they can and cannot achieve.

A good summary of the conceptual logic of normative models is also provided in this table from a BBS article by John Anderson (1991): www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

If it looks like online control, it is probably model-based control.

Liddell & Kruschke (2018) show examples of false positives and false negatives when analyzing ordinal data with continuous models (Fig. 2)
