An adaptive feedback methodology for determining information content in stable population studies

  • Received: 01 November 2015 Accepted: 29 June 2018 Published: 01 May 2016
  • MSC : 34A55, 65L09, 62G05.

  • We develop statistical and mathematical based methodologies for determining (as the experiment progresses) the amount of information required to complete the estimation of stable population parameters with pre-specified levels of confidence. We do this in the context of life table models and data for growth/death for three species of Daphniids as investigated by J. Stark and J. Banks [17]. The ideas developed here also have wide application in the health and social sciences where experimental data are often expensive as well as difficult to obtain.
