Likelihood Methods for the Von Bertalanffy Growth Curve
Likelihood methods for the von Bertalanffy growth curve are examined under the assumption of independent, normally distributed errors. The following are examined: determining the best method of estimation, relationships between methods of estimation, failure of assumptions, constructing confidence regions, and applying likelihood ratio tests. An eXanlple is presented illustrating many of the me...
متن کاملStochastic Age-frequency Estimation Using the Von Bertalanffy Growth Equation
The method of estimating age frequency from length frequency via the von Bertalanffy growth equation is deterministic and yields biased results. Most of the biascan be removed by incorporating a stochastic element in the von Bertalanffy relationship. The stochastic element is based on estimated probabilities of lengths by intervals at age. the probabilities being estimated from variances in len...
متن کاملOn the exponent in the Von Bertalanffy growth model
Von Bertalanffy proposed the differential equation m'(t) = p × m(t) a - q × m(t) for the description of the mass growth of animals as a function m(t) of time t. He suggested that the solution using the metabolic scaling exponent a = 2/3 (Von Bertalanffy growth function VBGF) would be universal for vertebrates. Several authors questioned universality, as for certain species other models would p...
متن کاملStochastic von Bertalanffy models, with applications to fish recruitment.
We consider three individual-based models describing growth in stochastic environments. Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with identical von Bertalanffy deterministic parts are formulated, with a stochastic term which decreases, remains constant, or increases with organism size, respectively. Probability density functions for hitting times are evaluated in the context of fish growth and ...
متن کاملMethods for Stratified Cluster Sampling with Informative Stratification
We look at fitting regression models using data from stratified cluster samples when the strata may depend in some way on the observed responses within clusters. One important subclass of examples is that of family studies in genetic epidemiology, where the probability of selecting a family into the study depends on the incidence of disease within the family. We develop the survey-weighted esti...
