Scientific paper

We are in the middle of an epoch of massive surveys of our Galaxy. On account of our position within the Galaxy, the contents of all survey catalogues is heavily influenced by selection biases. The obvious, and probably only, way to deal with these biases is to compare the contents of the catalogues with the predictions of models. Equilibrium dynamical models are the key type of model. I will discuss strategies for building such models and for fitting them to observational data.
