建模是否有一些特定的东西使其与许多其他理论工作区分开来？我们通过仔细研究Lotka-Volterra模型的历史根源来考虑Michael Weisberg（[2007]，[2013]）的论文，即建模是一种间接表示形式。虽然韦斯伯格讨论只有沃尔泰拉的工作，我们也研究洛特卡的非常不同的设计洛特卡，沃尔泰拉模型。我们将认为，虽然有元素的间接表示在这两个沃尔泰拉和洛特卡的建模方法，他们在很大程度上是由于其他两个功能的当代模型构建过程中，韦斯伯格没有明确考虑：方法驱动和结果导向的建模。1.导言2.作为间接代表的模型3。由沃尔泰拉设计的Lotka-沃尔泰拉模型3.1.沃尔泰拉的假设方法3.2.

Is there something specific about modelling that distinguishes it from many other theoretical endeavours? We consider Michael Weisberg’s ([2007], [2013]) thesis that modelling is a form of indirect representation through a close examination of the historical roots of the Lotka–Volterra model. While Weisberg discusses only Volterra’s work, we also study Lotka’s very different design of the Lotka–Volterra model. We will argue that while there are elements of indirect representation in both Volterra’s and Lotka’s modelling approaches, they are largely due to two other features of contemporary model construction processes that Weisberg does not explicitly consider: the methods-drivenness and outcome-orientedness of modelling. 1.
