Aspects of statistics in studies of cell proliferation. IV. Simulation.
Computer simulation of an experiment can help to reveal how effective that experiment might be in estimating cell kinetic parameters, or in elucidating the nature of a proliferative response to a perturbation of the steady state, such as a carcinogenic or therapeutic treatment. Writing a simulation also clarifies one's thoughts about possible mechanisms of the proliferative response.
