Design issues for population growth models.
We briefly review and discuss design issues for population growth and decline models. We then use a flexible growth and decline model as an illustrative example and apply optimal design theory to find optimal sampling times for estimating model parameters, specific parameters and interesting functions of the model parameters for the model with two real applications. Robustness properties of the...
متن کاملViral Population Growth Models
The steps involved in viral reproduction are described briefly. Mathematical models for the growth of viral populations without random effects take the form of systems of differential equations and these are reviewed, including the standard HIV equations, with correction terms. The validity of the “mass action” assumption is questioned for low virion levels. Stochastic differential equation mod...
متن کاملPopulation ecology issues in tumor growth.
Mathematical models developed from population ecology are applied to tumor-host interactions and demonstrate the importance of increased efficiency in substrate absorption as a mechanism enabling tumor cells to (a) proliferate despite inefficient energy production and (b) compete successfully for resources with the numerically superior host cells. As with many biological invasions observed in n...
متن کاملOptimal Design for Population Pk/pd Models
We provide some details of the implementation of optimal design algorithm in the PkStaMp library which is intended for constructing optimal sampling schemes for pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) studies. We discuss different types of approximation of individual Fisher information matrix and describe a user-defined option of the library.
متن کاملGuaranteeing population growth under uncertainty for structured population models∗
Structured population models are increasingly used in decision making, but typically have many entries that are unknown or highly uncertain. We present an approach for the systematic analysis of the effect of uncertainties on long-term population growth or decay. Many decisions for threatened and endangered species are made with poor or no information. We can still make decisions under these ci...
