Simple vs Complex models
VSa) Simple model b) Complex model
• business, management, economics, environment, real estate, physiology;
Various fields of research
• uncomplicated combination of rules, limited number of variables, fixed structure, atheoretical;
Simple models
• newer, adaptive, include more variables, accounts for attributes of external environment.
Complex models
What is the difference?
Simple >
Complex
Business Literature
Real Estate Literature

What does it tell?• similar outcomes can be achieved from
different models, i.e equifinality (Byrne et.al., 2010);
Overall findings
• make forecasts more user-friendly;• develop and improve simpler forecasting
techniques and/or simplify more complex structures;
Simplicity in modelling
• Keep it Sensibly/Sophisticatedly Simple (Zellner, 1991; Kennedy, 2002).KISS
