Incorporating parametric uncertainty into population viability analysis models
Uncertainty in parameter estimates from sampling variation or expert judgment can introduce substantial uncertainty into ecological predictions based on those estimates. However, in standard population viability analyses, one of the most widely used tools for managing plant, fish and wildlife populations, parametric uncertainty is often ignored in or discarded from model projections. We present...
متن کاملThe Istat Microsimulation Models
The aim of this paper is to relate the new microeconometric model on households developed by Istat to the development of the static and behavioural models presented in the literature. Both a survey on the international experiences and a focus on the implication of the static model for policy evaluation are presented.
متن کاملUncertainty Analysis in MRI-based Polymer Gel Dosimetry
Background: Polymer gel dosimeters combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used for dose verification of advanced radiation therapy techniques. However, the uncertainty of dose map measured by gel dosimeter should be known. The purpose of this study is to investigate the uncertainty related to calibration curve and MRI protocol for MAGIC (Methacrylic and Ascorbic acid in Gelatin I...
متن کاملIntegrating Behavior and Microsimulation Models
Microsimulations focus on modeling routine activities of individuals and have been used for modeling and planning urban systems like transportation, energy demand, and epidemiology. On the other hand, planning for emergency situations (e.g., disasters) needs to account for human behavior which is not routine or pre-planned but depends upon the current situation like the amount of physical damag...
متن کاملCombining microsimulation and spatial interaction models for retail location analysis
Although the disaggregation of consumers is crucial in understanding the fragmented markets that are dominant in many developed countries, it is not always straightforward to carry out such disaggregation within conventional retail modelling frameworks due to the limitations of data. In particular, consumer grouping based on sampled data is not assured to link with the other statistics that are...
