Titulo: Using Potential Functions to Set Down SDEs with
Applications to Animal Movement
Palestrante: David R. Brillinger
Statistics Department
University of California, Berkeley
Resumo:
Classical mechanics, particularly Newton's Second Law, has a lot to say about
the description of motion, particularly in the case that a potential function
exists.
A potential function may be used to motivate the choice of drift term in a
stochastic differential equation in modern developments for example.
For a statistician one issue is how to set down a pertinent potential function
and to fit it to empirical data.
This talk concerns the use of potential functions in the modelling of empirical
data on paths of: elephant seals, elk and Hawaiian monk seals.
In some cases the movement is bounded leading to interesting analysis
questions.
