Running Head: GROWTH IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS GROWTH RATES AND ELASTICITIES IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS
Despite considerable interest in the dynamics of populations subject to temporally varying environments, alternate population growth rates and their sensitivities remain incompletely understood. For a Markovian environment, we investigate the stochastic growth rate (λS), the growth rate of average population(λM), the growth rate for average transition rates (λA), and the growth rate of an aggre...
متن کاملSparse Learning of Markovian Population Models in Random Environments
Markovian population models are suitable abstractions to describe well-mixed interacting particle systems in situation where stochastic fluctuations are significant due to the involvement of low copy particles. In molecular biology, measurements on the single-cell level attest to this stochasticity and one is tempted to interpret such measurements across an isogenic cell population as different...
متن کاملParameterizing the growth-decline boundary for uncertain population projection models.
We consider discrete time linear population models of the form n(t+1)=An(t) where A is a population projection matrix or integral projection operator, and n(t) represents a structured population at time t. It is well known that the asymptotic growth or decay rate of n(t) is determined by the leading eigenvalue of A. In practice, population models have substantial parameter uncertainty, and it m...
متن کاملEffects of Sample Size on Estimates of Population Growth Rates Calculated with Matrix Models
BACKGROUND Matrix models are widely used to study the dynamics and demography of populations. An important but overlooked issue is how the number of individuals sampled influences estimates of the population growth rate (lambda) calculated with matrix models. Even unbiased estimates of vital rates do not ensure unbiased estimates of lambda-Jensen's Inequality implies that even when the estimate...
متن کاملA PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS
A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...
