Recipes for building and validating models using our framework.
In general xi denotes the abundance of population i, and ai, bi, ci, and di are parameters describing its impact. The example for checking is based upon Eq 21 and tailored for covering relevant cases. The example for building extends the one from The form of impact functions. For both examples, the biological background is discussed in more detail in the main text.
