would require many states—numbering into the thousands—to represent
unique combinations of these factors and maintaining that heterogeneity
throughout the model. This is tantamount to creating a separate version of
the model for each distinct set of characteristics or undertaking separate
analyses for each prole. Even so, there remains the challenge of putting all
those results back together to represent the costs and effects in the aggre-
gated population, or subgroups. In a DES, individuals are assigned their
own unique values for the set of characteristics, including memory of all
that has happened. These values—updated as appropriate throughout the
simulation—control what happens ...
