Amateur Models Page
In this 2007 paper, Watts and Dodds introduced the concept of "amateur models" to describe simple, intuitive models built by non-experts (amateurs) to understand complex systems. These models are often based on everyday experiences, common sense, and rough estimates, rather than rigorous mathematical formulations.
