How does a Data Scientist's source of prediction refinement differ from a Simulation Engineer's?

Answer

Data Scientists rely on observed historical behavior, while Simulation Engineers rely on first-principles engineering.

Data Scientists use historical operational data to refine predictions via machine learning, whereas Simulation Engineers define the base behavior using established engineering principles applied mathematically.
