[Dynamic modelling of the pathology-performance relationship].
Statistical modelling is insufficient to formalize the dynamic process of biological phenomena. This kind of model is also poor at explaining such processes. This theoretical position leads us to search for modelling techniques that allow the outcome to be transformed into (ideal) objects, substituting the intuition that underlies the observed signs with a specific and explicit mathematical construction. In this article, we present one example of such a model in ecopathology. This model is constructed with bibliographic data and permits us to measure the distance between a physical model based on maximization of a biomass (fattening of pigs), and a semantic model based on automatization of a system (porcine respiratory pathology).
