Real options and demographic decisions
The theory of real options is used to incorporate the influence of uncertainty on demographic decision-making. The decision to have children is formulated as an investment using portfolio theory. The timing of the decision to have a child is modelled as a real options decision, with uncertainty affecting a woman’s ability to exercise the doption to waitT in order to delay or space births. An in...
متن کاملReview: Statistics, Estimation and Decisions
The following is a (very) brief review of statistics, described from a Bayesian perspective, in the context of both experimental data analysis and modeling. I emphasize brevity and geometric intuition, at the expense of rigor and detail. I assume the reader is familiar with linear algebra (as reviewed in my handout Geometric Review of Linear Algebra), and least squares estimation (as reviewed i...
متن کاملInferring Demographic History Using Two-Locus Statistics.
Population demographic history may be learned from contemporary genetic variation data. Methods based on aggregating the statistics of many single loci into an allele frequency spectrum (AFS) have proven powerful, but such methods ignore potentially informative patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between neighboring loci. To leverage such patterns, we developed a composite-likelihood framew...
متن کاملComputationally Efficient Composite Likelihood Statistics for Demographic Inference.
Many population genetics tools employ composite likelihoods, because fully modeling genomic linkage is challenging. But traditional approaches to estimating parameter uncertainties and performing model selection require full likelihoods, so these tools have relied on computationally expensive maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) on bootstrapped data. Here, we demonstrate that statistical theory ...
