Paul, would your data be available for me to comb for the kinds of leading questions my method generates?

At UNDP for whom I worked for years we constantly monitored both organizations and projects.sometimes with models, sometimes without. The choice of indicators clearly skews the results and future decisions and developments. Actually systems biologists do use models to study natural systems whether it be species, evolution of species or ecosystems. I seem to recall a computer model programme called SAS (?) that was used to model evolution of species. That was in the late 1980s. It was very cumbersome and slow. I am particularly interested in models applied to politics and how to achieve progressive change and adaptive management strategies. Has anyone used these kind of models? Paul Paryski
