Abstract

Theoretical and applied cancer studies that use individual-based models (IBMs) havebeen limited by the lack of a mathematical formulation that enables rigorous analysis of these models. However, spatial cumulant models (SCMs), which have arisenfrom theoretical ecology, describe population dynamics g...
