Structured Population Dynamics: An Introduction to Integral Modeling

An Introduction to Integral Coaching®

Throughout human history we have sought out people to assist us in our quests to grow, develop, and bring about change: shamans, elders, teachers, spiritual leaders, experts, consultants, therapists, and mentors. In the past 20 years, professional coaches have stepped into this powerful and poignant niche of need and yearning to provide new ways of supporting human growth. As the demands of mod...

An Introduction to structured prediction

In many learning tasks, one observes an input o ∈ O and wants to predict a class label x ∈ U , where the set U of valid possible labels can be exponentially large (in the size of o). In this setting normal multiclass classification techniques fail, because most such techniques can’t predict a label that has never been seen in the training data and often learn a per-label set of parameters. To g...

A general modeling framework for describing spatially structured population dynamics

Variation in movement across time and space fundamentally shapes the abundance and distribution of populations. Although a variety of approaches model structured population dynamics, they are limited to specific types of spatially structured populations and lack a unifying framework. Here, we propose a unified network-based framework sufficiently novel in its flexibility to capture a wide varie...

Dose-structured population dynamics.

Applied population dynamics modeling is relied upon with increasing frequency to quantify how human activities affect human and non-human populations. Current techniques include variously the population's spatial transport, age, size, and physiology, but typically not the life-histories of exposure to other important things occurring in the ambient environment, such as chemicals, heat, or radia...
