[PDF] Top 20 Rate distribution modeling for structured heterogeneous populations

... We have examined here a semigroup formulation of a rate distribution model for structured populations. Being based merely on an original semigroup formulation for subpopulations of identical ... See full document

... In this research, we apply non-linear regression analysis to fit the model that we develop in Chapter 2, to mortality data. The Least Squares (LS) method is used to estimate the free (unknown) parameters that minimize ... See full document

... ABSTRACT A key quantity in the analysis of structured populations is the parameter K , which describes the number of subpopulations that make up the total population. Inference of K ideally proceeds via the ... See full document
