Advances in modeling highlight a tension between analytical accuracy and accessibility.

LaDeau, Shannon
- Abstract
In this article the author discusses the scientific model and approaches for the study of wildlife disease systems, in connection with the Bayesian model developed by author Dennis M. Heisey and colleagues. He states that quantifying the importance of demography, spatial structures, and temporal trends in chronic wasting disease (CWD is necessary for the modeling of CWD among cervids in North America. He adds that the accuracy of the methods depend on the researcher's knowledge on the process.
