What is modeling?
model = hypothesis about process or system
simulation = utilizing model to answer specific question
modeling = process of developing representation of biological systems to understand underlying structure, dynamics and function
What are the three primary technical uss of models?
Input -> System -> Output
I and O -> Understand S
I and S -> Predict O
S and O -> Control I
What are powers of modeling?
Powers
cheaper and faster than experiments
repeatable for many times
test scenarios, not feasible in real experiments
What are limitations of modelling?
What does a model consist of?
System state - variables, parameters, constants
System dynamics - transitions, probabilities, rates
Classify model types by state and space resolution.
