Hi All
Sorry about the delay in reply, I am rather busy at the moment getting
to grips with Geometric Morphometrics. The statistical side of the
subject may be able to throw light on the difficult interactions between
bee viruses.

We seem to be seeing different effects of a particular virus, with
different combinations of viruses (and other problems) present. The
numbers of viruses involved are considered too expensive to investigate
all at once.
I pose the question... Can we do this work in a synthetic fashion,
purely with numbers, in order to produce large arrays of synthetic data
sets that can be compared to what 'real' data we do have ?
If and when the real data matches that produced by the numbers, the
numbers that produced the synthetic data must relate to the real
situation. It requires a lot of number crunching, but computers are good
at that and I think it likely someone in our online community has the
knowledge to implement it.
It seams feasible to me, can anyone shoot it down ?
