Introduction to Population Balance Modeling
01 Oct. 2008 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Eric Sherer
This presentation gives an overview of the role and applications of population balance (or structured) models in describing biological phenomenon. These models represent the continuum between purely empirical models and mechanistic models where details are often lumped into the structured …

Predicting Patient-specific CRC Incidence from Polyp Prevalence
17 Jun. 2008 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Eric Sherer
Seminal work on CRC incidence modeling argued that the slope of the linear log-log CRC incidence with age implies that 6 or 7 somatic mutations are required for transformation to CRC. Subsequent modeling efforts have built on this theme by using models of linear, sequential transformations for …
