1. My main goal was to develop statistical approaches to the study of community dynamics in the presence of large numbers of species. In previous work, I used semi-parametric methods to build up a picture of community dynamics aggregated into a small number of categories. The basic idea was to predict the composition of a community one time unit into the future, given its current composition, u...

Tools for dynamic model development by Spencer

For this thesis, several tools for dynamic model development were developed and analyzed. Dynamic models can be used to simulate and optimize the behavior of a great number of natural and engineered systems, from the movement of celestial bodies to projectile motion to biological and chemical reaction networks. This thesis focuses on applications in chemical kinetic systems. Ordinary differenti...
