The paper discusses three frameworks for analytical problem solving: causal modelling, correlational modelling and deductive modelling. Table 3 in the paper summarizes the discussion by placing the three types of modelling in the process of analytical problem solving. In this supplemental material, we explain the structure of Table 3 and relate it to the literature.Section 5.1 of the paper discusses essential differences between the three types of modelling. Table 3 organizes these in the problem-solving process. The literatures in various applied fields abound in models of the problem-solving process, typically organized in step-wise procedures. Table 4 collates four such procedures:• Smith (1988), one of the best researched models in the management literature.• Six Sigma's DMAIC model (De Mast and Lokkerbol 2012), widely used and discussed in quality engineering and statistics-driven operations improvement. • The CRISP-DM model in data science (Chapman et al. 2000).• PDCA and Toyota's A3 problem-solving procedure (Marksberry, Bustle and Clevinger 2011), which is representative for many similar problem-solving procedures in practitioner books.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
