Spatially Explicit Population Models
During the last decade, ecologists and particularly mathematical ecologists have focused on different approaches to the problem of spatial distribution of species. When the spatial distribution is not considered explicitly, the mathematical models are called spatially implicit. They consider the proportion of territory occupied by given species, but there is no information on which particular s...

متن کاملA Process Calculus for Spatially-explicit Ecological Models
We propose PALPS, a Process Algebra with Locations for Population Systems. PALPS allows us to produce spatially-explicit, individual-based models and to reason about their behavior. Our calculus has two levels: at the first level we may define the behavior of an individual of a population while, at the second level, we may specify a system as the collection of individuals of various species loc...
متن کاملStochastic, spatially-explicit epidemic models.
Animal disease epidemic models are useful for better understanding both the spread and control of disease in a population. While it is advisable that models be only as complex as needed, it is often necessary to modify simplifying assumptions and thus increase model complexity to better reflect reality. Here, the author will examine the need for increasing model complexity by including randomne...
متن کاملImproving Point and Interval Estimates of Monotone Functions by Rearrangement
Suppose that a target function f0 : R d → R is monotonic, namely, weakly increasing, and an original estimate f̂ of this target function is available, which is not weakly increasing. Many common estimation methods used in statistics produce such estimates f̂ . We show that these estimates can always be improved with no harm using rearrangement techniques: The rearrangement methods, univariate and...
