Parameter Estimation in Ecology: The Link between Data and Models

This book is unique in that it combines ecological model building and the application of advanced statistical methods for parameter estimation. Written for model builders and statisticians in the field of ecology, it provides the statistical and numerical tools needed to estimate parameters from experimental data. These tools range from standard methods to highly advanced ones for parameter identification using ordinary differential equations. Detailed examples based on real data illustrate their use. It provides the necessary link between data and models, between simulation and statistics.D. Sondgerath is the author of 'Parameter Estimation in Ecology: The Link between Data and Models', published 1990 under ISBN 9783527279548 and ISBN 3527279547.
