Heterogeneity of the community is taken into account. The model has the form of a discrete event system in which changes in the characteristics of the individuals result from random events that occur at random times. The model is quantified against real world data by a response surface method.</mods:abstract><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8601">1995-10</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>WP-95-110</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Monograph</mods:genre></mods:mods>
