3 important questions on Readings - Randell et al (2012)
What is a population viability analysis (PVA)?
A standard method used to estimate the probability that a population will persist for some arbitrarily chosen time into the future.
What is the VORTEX computer simulation model?
A Monte Carlo simulation exercise which iteratively (repeated executions of the input parameters and corresponding standard deviations) evaluates population influences by parameters that are too complex and variable for solution using basic equations.
What do Monte Carlo simulations generate?
Multiple random samples from user-defined probability distributions to simulate the process of sampling from an actual population.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
