Abstract
In the case of cell poplulations we seldomly can do any direct measurements on the level of the individuals. So in cell biology the inverse problem is paramount: we have to infer the dynamical properties of the individuals from population observations. The paper by Voorn & Koch exemplifies this (also compare part A section 1.4.4). In it a very general procedure is described for connecting various size related statistics on the p- and --levels.
