Mathematics in early years settings is often restricted to learning to count and identifying simple shapes. This is partly due to the narrow scope of many early years curricula and insufficient teacher training for exploring deeper mathematical conce...

The effects of nutrition and health claims on the nutrient composition of single and subsequent meal servings (2022)
Journal Article
Benson, T., Bucher, T., Oughton, R., McCloat, A., Mooney, E., Farrell, S., & Dean, M. (2022). The effects of nutrition and health claims on the nutrient composition of single and subsequent meal servings. Appetite, 176, Article 106105. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.appet.2022.106105

Nutrition and health claims (NHCs) can help individuals make better food choices. While NHCs have been found to influence consumer perceptions and consumption, there has been less focus on how claims influence the nutritional composition of servings....

Intermediate Variable Emulation: using internal processes in simulators to build more informative emulators (2022)
Journal Article
Oughton, R., Goldstein, M., & Hemmings, J. (2022). Intermediate Variable Emulation: using internal processes in simulators to build more informative emulators. SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification, 10(1), 268-293. https://doi.org/10.1137/20m1370902

Complex systems are often modelled by intricate and intensive computer simulators. This makes their behaviour difficult to study, and so a statistical representation of the simulator is often used, known as an emulator, to enable users to explore the...
