A comparison of deterministic and stochastic modeling approaches for biochemical reaction systems: On fixed points, means, and modes.

In the mathematical modeling of biochemical reactions, a convenient standard approach is to use ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that follow the law of mass action. However, this deterministic ansatz is based on simplifications; in particular, it neglects noise, which is inherent to biological...
