For example, where suitable experimental data exists, mechanistic models can often provide strong evidence for the causative relationships that underpin a given biological model [1]. Mechanistic, multi-scale models have been able to assimilate physical features and behaviours that span multiple time- and spatial-scales [2].\n\nTo draw reliable conclusions from a mechanistic model, experimental data are often used to inform the pla ...
