Population Growth00:57

Population Growth

26.4K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter

4.7K
The accurate values of population parameters such as population proportion, population mean, and population standard deviation (or variance) are usually unknown. These are fixed values that can only be estimated from the data collected from the samples. The estimates of each of these parameters are sample proportion, the sample mean, and sample standard deviation (or variance). To obtain the values of these sample statistics, data are required that have particular distribution and central...

What is Population Genetics?

62.5K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.

Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data01:12

Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data

523
Analysis of population pharmacokinetic data involves studying the behavior of drugs within diverse populations to understand their pharmacokinetic parameters. Traditional pharmacokinetic methods typically involve collecting samples from a few individuals and estimating these parameters. While these methods are commonly used, they have limitations in capturing the variability in drug response among individuals or heterogeneous populations. Population pharmacokinetics is employed to address these...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

160
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

Bootstrapping01:24

Bootstrapping

710
The term "bootstrap" originated in the 19th century as a metaphor for self-improvement or achieving something independently, without external assistance. This concept extends to statistical bootstrapping, a self-contained method for estimating population parameters through resampling, even though it can be computationally intensive. Developed by the American statistician Dr. Bradley Efron in 1979, bootstrapping provides a robust way to perform inference when the original sample size is...

Background:

  • Inverse techniques are crucial for subsurface parameter characterization in hydrogeology.
  • Monte Carlo methods are essential for sampling heterogeneous geological models but are computationally expensive.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of machine learning classifiers (AdaBoost, Random Forest, Convolutional Neural Network) with the Posterior Population Expansion (PoPEx) framework.
  • Utilizing a forward operator (MODFLOW for groundwater flow and transport) for simulations.
  • Training machine learning models on data generated during initial iterations of the inversion process.
  • Demonstration using a tracer test simulation in a fluvial aquifer with four geological facies.

Main Results:

  • Machine learning models predict the significance of generated subsurface models, allowing only significant ones to be processed by the forward solver.
  • Random Forest and AdaBoost demonstrated higher speed-ups compared to the Convolutional Neural Network.
  • The accelerated PoPEx achieved speed-up rates of up to 2 compared to standard PoPEx for the same mean error.
  • Accurate estimation of the 10-day protection zone around a pumping well was maintained.

Conclusions:

  • Machine learning-based prediction of model significance effectively reduces computational costs in hydrogeological inverse problems.
  • The proposed method offers a significant speed-up for Monte Carlo sampling without compromising the accuracy of subsurface characterization.
  • This approach enhances the feasibility of detailed subsurface modeling and uncertainty quantification.
