About
I present the "Suicidal Mind", a theory synthesis modeling exercise aiming to simulate a distressed mind. I will briefly cover the topics of the first talk: the challenges of, and different approaches to suicide research, relevant theories of suicide, and an overview of our model. I will then focus on various forms of model validation, including parameter sweeps, scenario recreation, GAM surface fitting, and multivariate time-series clustering.
