This paperpresents an approach to using IBM's in a hypothesis-testing frameworkto draw generalconclusionsabout the characteristics of the individualsand the system-level properties that emerge from individual characteristics.While the rest of this paper addresses IBM's, it is worthrememberingthat this "how do you get results" question is just as easily applied todi#erential equation models. Di#erential equation models require simplifyingassumptions so the equationscanbe...
