Mathematical models can infer physiological variables that are difficult to measure directly.
Practitioners can leverage mathematical models to gain insights into physiological variables that are otherwise challenging to assess.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Because mathematical models are constrained by conservation laws, they can also be used to infer physiological variables that are difficult to measure directly.
Why this rating
The abstract discusses the capabilities of mathematical models in a comprehensive manner.
