These results ...
متن کاملOptimal harvesting of stochastically fluctuating populations
We obtain the optimal harvesting plan to maximize the expected discounted number of individuals harvested over an infinite future horizon, under the most common (»erhulst-Pearl) logistic model for a stochastically fluctuating population. We also solve the problem for the standard variants of the model where there are constraints on the admissible harvesting rates. We use stochastic calculus to ...
متن کاملNonequilibrium statistical mechanics of dividing cell populations.
We present and study a model for the nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of protein distributions in a proliferating cell population. Our model describes how the total protein variation is shaped by two processes: variation in protein production internal to the cells and variation in division and inheritance at the population level. It enables us to assess the contribution of each of these com...
متن کاملDividing loyalties: caring for individuals and populations.
Are health maintenance organization (HMO) physicians obligated to act exclusively in the interest of the individual patient? Does the mere existence of financial incentives to limit patient care violate this obligation? To what extent are doctors responsible for the population of patients served by a health plan, or for promoting a fair distribution of health care among society as a whole? Thes...
متن کاملBayesian Analysis of Stochastically Ordered Distributions of Categorical Variables
This paper considers a nite set of discrete distributions all having the same nite support. The problem of interest is to assess the strength of evidence produced by sampled data for a hypothesis of a speciied stochastic ordering among the underlying distributions and to estimate these distributions subject to the ordering. We present a Bayesian approach alternative to the use of the posterior ...
