NSR Tutorials

Tutorials are works in progress. Each tutorial will provide an overview of the topic and a beginning guide to a set of models which can be run on the website or downloaded for running on one's own computer under JSim (under Windows, Macintosh or Linux). The intention of the tutorials is to provide elementary material on a given topic, and by way of example, to use the primitive modules as components within a modest number of increasingly complex forms. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Each tutorial links to a set of model Wiki pages.

Defining standards for good modeling practice

Classes of models might be defined as Class 1: lists of observed objects, categorized into groups suspected of being related, Class 2: linkage maps of proposed relationships, sometimes with cause-and-effect directionality, Class 3: kinetic descriptions of relationships between variables developed enough that model solutions fit observed time course behavior, and Class 4: biophysically based models that appear to provide an "explanation", demonstrating both good fitting of model solutions to data, and bei
