Where do I start?

MATILDA is structured in four main topics: Your study, Theory, Measurement, and Analysis (see the menu on the left). Each topic consists of multiple themes with their own landing page. On these landing pages, you can find articles related to the theme. All pages are listed below. If you are looking for a specific subject, you can select a category on the right or you can use the search bar to navigate to associated pages.

1 Model Navigator

Processes are by definition characterized by variation over time. To study such variation, there is an almost infinite number of models available to you. As a result, it can be hard to decide which models are appropriate for the process you are interested in.

To help you navigate the many possibilities, MATILDA offers the Model Navigator tool.
