Hi Thomas, Thank you very much for your help. I will try to calculate some summary statistics and fit observed and simulated data using a time series (as your examples). With observed data, I would use two values (e.g. 0 and 10), because I do not have intermediate values. Thanks! Javier
Fitting models is often more an art than a science, but there are also approaches to overcome the dilemma, cf.: Piou, C. Berger, U., Gririmm, V. (2009) Proposing an information criterion for individual-based models developed in a pattern-oriented modelling framework. Ecological modelling 220(17) 1957-1967. DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2009.05.003 ... and related work about individual-based models and pattern oriented modelling, e.g. the book of Grimm and Railsback.
