es the impact of policy options on different sub-populations ( Harding , 2007 ). These can be considered very detailed individual Markov Chains .
System Dynamics : Dynamic computational method that focuses on the flow of groups of people or resources through a system and their accumulation at different points ( Sterman , 2000 ), equivalent to the mathematical method of systems of differential equations . Quantitative , aggregated , and captures interaction .
Discrete Event Simulation : Dynamic computation method that focuses on the movement of individuals through a system ( Banks et al ., 2009 ), equivalent to the mathematical method of queuing theory . Quantitative , individual , and captures interaction .
Agent Based Modeling : Dynamic computation method in which individuals perceive their environment ( including other individuals ) and adopt actions based on their situation ( Gilbert , 2008 ). Quantitative ( or logical ) relationships , individual , and captures interaction .
