A stochastic population projection system based on general age-dependent branching processes.

C J Mode, M E Jacobson, G T Pickens

    Journal of Applied Probability
    |March 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    New algorithms model stochastic population dynamics using age-dependent branching processes. They reveal that while non-random evolution minimizes fluctuations, randomized evolution can amplify them, even in large populations.
