Propagation of Growth Uncertainty in a Physiologically Structured Population

H.T. Banks, S. Hu (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this review paper we consider physiologically structured population models that have been widely studied and employed in the literature to model the dynamics of a wide variety of populations. However in a number of cases these have been found inadequate to describe some phenomena arising in certain real-world applications such as dispersion in the structure variables due to growth uncertainty/variability. Prompted by this, we described two recent...

Quasi-Likelihood Estimation for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Diffusion Observed at Random Time Points

Adès, Michel, Dion, Jean-Pierre, MacGibbon, Brenda (2005)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60J60, 62M99.In this paper, we study the quasi-likelihood estimator of the drift parameter θ in the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck diffusion process, when the process is observed at random time points, which are assumed to be unobservable. These time points are arrival times of a Poisson process with known rate. The asymptotic properties of the quasi-likelihood estimator (QLE) of θ, as well as those of its approximations are also elucidated. An extensive simulation study...

Random walk on a building of type Ãr and brownian motion of the Weyl chamber

Bruno Schapira (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

In this paper we study a random walk on an affine building of type Ãr, whose radial part, when suitably normalized, converges toward the brownian motion of the Weyl chamber. This gives a new discrete approximation of this process, alternative to the one of Biane (Probab. Theory Related Fields89 (1991) 117–129). This extends also the link at the probabilistic level between riemannian symmetric spaces of the noncompact type and their discrete counterpart, which had been previously discovered by Bougerol...
