The phrase "a virtual individual" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to refer to a person or entity that exists in a digital or online environment, often in contexts related to technology, gaming, or virtual reality.
Example: "In the online game, players can create a virtual individual that represents them in the digital world."
Alternatives: "a digital persona" or "an online avatar".
The computer model analytic procedure recreates the investigational protocol for a virtual individual in an In Silico environment.
The last issue that needs to be addressed is whether one could really map the reaching space of a virtual individual as an avatar.
To tackle this question we further extended our previous study [15] by introducing a virtual individual such as an avatar in the visual scene and investigating whether the sight of objects located outside the reaching space of the participant but within the reaching space of the avatar might evoke the motor representation of a suitable grasping action as measured by the spatial alignment effect.
The three factors were (i) the Position of the Mug with respect to the participant (Reachable Vs Non-Reachable); (ii) the Position of the Handle with respect to the hand the participants had to use to replicate the grasping movement (Congruent Vs Incongruent); (iii) the Presence of a virtual individual such an avatar (Absent Vs Cylinder Vs Avatar).
One strategy around this problem is to create a "superparent," a virtual individual created by combining reads from many individuals.
A virtual individual is created by selecting each parameter from a distribution centered on its normal value, and then running the program to steady-state, and recording the concentrations and velocities, which represent the phenotypic values for that individual.
Virtual Individual Servers (VIS) are operated by the user himself or rented from a cloud provider.
For each simulated virtual individual, plasma PK and target tissue concentration time profiles are calculated.
Haploid genomes of gametes are generated for each virtual individual from its parents' chromosomes.
Finally, the overall fitness of the virtual individual is the sum of fitnesses of all genes inside the genome.
The overall fitness of every created virtual individual in the GEMA algorithm is computed by taking into account all the mutations possessed by this individual.
