On the exponent in the Von Bertalanffy growth model
Von Bertalanffy proposed the differential equation m'(t) = p × m(t) a - q × m(t) for the description of the mass growth of animals as a function m(t) of time t. He suggested that the solution using the metabolic scaling exponent a = 2/3 (Von Bertalanffy growth function VBGF) would be universal for vertebrates. Several authors questioned universality, as for certain species other models would p...
متن کاملHeteroscedastic BART Using Multiplicative Regression Trees
Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) has become increasingly popular as a flexible and scalable non-parametric model useful in many modern applied statistics regression problems. It brings many advantages to the practitioner dealing with large and complex non-linear response surfaces, such as a matrix-free formulation and the lack of a requirement to specify a regression basis a priori. Ho...
متن کاملInterpreting the von Bertalanffy model of somatic growth in fishes: the cost of reproduction.
We develop a model for somatic growth in fishes that explicitly allows for the energy demand imposed by reproduction. We show that the von Bertalanffy (VB) equation provides a good description of somatic growth after maturity, but not before. We show that the parameters of the VB equation are simple functions of age at maturity and reproductive investment. We use this model to show how the ener...
متن کاملStochastic Age-frequency Estimation Using the Von Bertalanffy Growth Equation
The method of estimating age frequency from length frequency via the von Bertalanffy growth equation is deterministic and yields biased results. Most of the biascan be removed by incorporating a stochastic element in the von Bertalanffy relationship. The stochastic element is based on estimated probabilities of lengths by intervals at age. the probabilities being estimated from variances in len...
متن کاملLikelihood Methods for the Von Bertalanffy Growth Curve
Likelihood methods for the von Bertalanffy growth curve are examined under the assumption of independent, normally distributed errors. The following are examined: determining the best method of estimation, relationships between methods of estimation, failure of assumptions, constructing confidence regions, and applying likelihood ratio tests. An eXanlple is presented illustrating many of the me...
