A system is a set of things that are interconnected in ways that result in the generation of identifiable behavioral patterns over time. Systems science is an interdisciplinary field that studies the complexity of systems in nature, social or any other scientific field. Some of the systems science methodologies include systems dynamics modeling, agent-based modeling, microsimulation, and big data techniques. 1, record 1, English, - systems%20science

Les modèles de macrosimulation sont une sorte de compromis entre les modèles analytiques et la microsimulation. Plutôt que de travailler au niveau individuel, les processus démographiques sont modélisés et simulés au niveau agrégé pour différentes sous-populations (par âge, sexe, statut matrimonial, etc.). 2, record 2, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20de%20macrosimulation
