This is the first in a series of tutorials concerning the simulation of micropopulation models for use in epidemiological research. The series emphasizes the techniques that are in use at the National Micropopulation Simulation Resource at the University of Minnesota. This initial series of tutorials uses chronic disease models, specifically coronary heart disease models, to illustrate the principles and methodologies employed. The series is intended for persons having some familiarity with electronic, digital computation and desiring to know more about a specific class of simulations, namely those that apply Monte Carlo techniques in the simulation of micropopulation models as a part of biomedical research. It is the author's hope that these tutorials will be particularly useful for students in medical informatics; they could also be of interest to professionals in both the computational and the biomedical sciences.
这是关于用于流行病学研究的微观人口模型模拟的一系列教程中的第一篇。该系列强调明尼苏达大学国家微观人口模拟资源中心正在使用的技术。这一系列初步教程使用慢性病模型，特别是冠心病模型，来说明所采用的原理和方法。该系列面向那些对电子数字计算有一定了解并希望更多地了解特定一类模拟的人，即那些在生物医学研究中作为一部分在微观人口模型模拟中应用蒙特卡罗技术的模拟。作者希望这些教程对医学信息学专业的学生特别有用；它们对计算科学和生物医学科学领域的专业人员也可能有吸引力。
