Nonparametric Estimation of the Division Rate of a Size-Structured Population
We consider the problem of estimating the division rate of a size-structured population in a nonparametric setting. The size of the system evolves according to a transport-fragmentation equation: each individual grows with a given transport rate, and splits into two offsprings of the same size, following a binary fragmentation process with unknown division rate that depends on its size. In cont...
متن کاملEstimating the division rate and kernel in the fragmentation equation
We consider the fragmentation equation ∂f ∂t (t, x) = −B(x)f(t, x) + ∫ y=∞ y=x k(y, x)B(y)f(t, y)dy, and address the question of estimating the fragmentation parameters i.e. the division rate B(x) and the fragmentation kernel k(y, x) from measurements of the size distribution f(t, ·) at various times. This is a natural question for any application where the sizes of the particles are measured e...
متن کاملSecond-order numerical integration of a size-structured cell population model with asymmetric division
In this work we present a second-order numerical method, based on the integration along the characteristic curves, for the approximation of the solution to a population model describing the evolution of a size-structured cell population with asymmetric division. This method is used to approximate the stable size distribution of the model.
متن کاملEstimating Population Size
All monitoring programs are designed to detect change in population size. Some require, in addition, estimates of population size itself. Two approaches to making such estimates, using various m ark-recapture methods or removal sampling, are described in this chapter. Whatever the method, estimation of population size requires extensive data collection and analysis and is labor-intensive and ti...
متن کاملNonlinear Size - Structured Population Models A
In this dissertation, some size-structured population models are studied.In Chapter 1, a quasilinear size-structured model that describes the dynamics of apopulation with n competing ecotypes is studied. Under the assumption that the vitalrates of each subpopulation depend on the total population due to competition, theconditions on the individual rates which guarantee compe...
