Addressing the problem of lack of representativeness on syndromic surveillance schemes

Isabel Natário, M. Lucília Carvalho (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

A major concern with some contagious diseases has recently led to an enormous effort to monitor population health status by several different means. This work presents a modeling approach to overcome this poor data characteristic, allowing its use for the estimation of the true population disease picture. We use a state space model, where we run two processes in parallel - a process describing the non observable states of the population concerning the presence/absence...

Time to the convergence of evolution in the space of population states

Iwona Karcz-Dulęba (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Phenotypic evolution of two-element populations with proportional selection and normally distributed mutation is considered. Trajectories of the expected location of the population in the space of population states are investigated. The expected location of the population generates a discrete dynamical system. The study of its fixed points, their stability and time to convergence is presented. Fixed points are located in the vicinity of optima and saddles. For large values of the standard...

Mathematical Modeling Describing the Effect of Fishing and Dispersion on Hermaphrodite Population Dynamics

S. Ben Miled, A. Kebir, M. L. Hbid (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

In order to study the impact of fishing on a grouper population, we propose in this paper to model the dynamics of a grouper population in a fishing territory by using structured models. For that purpose, we have integrated the natural population growth, the fishing, the competition for shelter and the dispersion. The dispersion was considered as a consequence of the competition. First we prove, that the grouper stocks may be less sensitive...

The impatience mechanism as a diversity maintaining and saddle crossing strategy

Iwona Karcz-Duleba (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The impatience mechanism diversifies the population and facilitates escaping from a local optima trap by modifying fitness values of poorly adapted individuals. In this paper, two versions of the impatience mechanism coupled with a phenotypic model of evolution are studied. A population subordinated to a basic version of the impatience mechanism polarizes itself and evolves as a dipole centered around an averaged individual. In the modified version, the impatience mechanism is supplied...

Do Demographic and Disease Structures Affect the Recurrence of Epidemics ?

A. Castellazzo, A. Mauro, C. Volpe, E. Venturino (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

In this paper we present an epidemic model affecting an age-structured population. We show by numerical simulations that this demographic structure can induce persistent oscillations in the epidemic. The model is then extended to encompass a stage-structured disease within an age-dependent population. In this case as well, persistent oscillations are observed in the infected as well as in the whole population.

Population genetics models for the statistics of DNA samples under different demographic scenarios - Maximum likelihood versus approximate methods

Andrzej Polański, Marek Kimmel (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper reviews the basic mathematical methodology of modeling neutral genetic evolution, including the statistics of the Fisher-Wright process, models of mutation and the coalescence method under various demographic scenarios. The basic approach is the use of maximum likelihood techniques. However, due to computational problems, intuitive or approximate methods are also of great importance.
