متن کاملCalibrar: an R package for fitting complex ecological models
1. The fitting or parameter estimation of complex ecological models is a challenging optimization task, with a notable lack of tools for fitting complex stochastic models. 2. calibrar is an R package that has been developed for fitting complex ecological models to data, including complex Individual Based Models. It is a generic tool that can be used for any type of model, especially those with ...
متن کاملPropagation Models and Fitting Them for the Boolean Random Sets
In order to study the relationship between random Boolean sets and some explanatory variables, this paper introduces a Propagation model. This model can be applied when corresponding Poisson process of the Boolean model is related to explanatory variables and the random grains are not affected by these variables. An approximation for the likelihood is used to find pseudo-maximum likelihood esti...
متن کاملMutual information for fitting deep nonlinear models
Deep nonlinear models pose a challenge for fitting parameters due to lack of knowledge of the hidden layer and the potentially non-affine relation of the initial and observed layers. In the present work we investigate the use of information theoretic measures such as mutual information and Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence as objective functions for fitting such models without knowledge of the h...
متن کاملFitting ecological dynamic models to data
This set of lectures aims to provide an introduction to fitting and inference with population dynamic models. The basic motivation is that often we know enough about a biological system to formulate models describing how we think it works, but not quite enough to pin down the precise numerical values of all the parameters (or in some cases functions) that it contains. In this circumstance it’s ...
