[Population Modeling] Population modeling definition

[Dammann, Olaf]

Jacob & colleagues,

Thanks for inviting comments on "Modeling a collection of entities with different levels of heterogeneity". Here are my questions.

What is modeling? Bottom-up, data- bases generation of a model formula (e.g., a multivariable regression formula)? Top-down simulation models? Both?

Collection = artificial populations of artificial individuals?

Entities = artificial individuals?

Levels = as characteristics of collections or of entities ???

Heterogeneity = of what?

Thanks for your thoughts.
