  1. 1. Gaussian process models of social change

    Författare :Björn Rune Helmer Blomqvist; David J. T. Sumpter; Ranjula Bali Swain; Ian Vernon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gaussian processes; Bayesian statistics; Dynamical systems; Social sciences; Tillämpad matematik och statistik; Applied Mathematics and Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : Social systems produce complex and nonlinear relationships in the indicator variables that describe them. Traditional statistical regression techniques are commonly used in the social sciences to study such systems. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Modeling Collective Decision-Making in Animal Groups

    Författare :Boris Granovskiy; David J. T. Sumpter; Mary R. Myerscough; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; collective animal behavior; collective intelligence; swarm intelligence; wisdom of crowds; mathematical modeling; stochastic modeling; agent-based modeling; Markov chain models;

    Sammanfattning : Many animal groups benefit from making decisions collectively. For example, colonies of many ant species are able to select the best possible nest to move into without every ant needing to visit each available nest site. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Mathematical models of biological interactions

    Författare :Linnéa Gyllingberg; David J.T. Sumpter; Kolbjörn Tunström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics with specialization in Applied Mathematics; Matematik med inriktning mot tillämpad matematik;

    Sammanfattning : Mathematical models are used to describe and analyse different types of biological interactions.  From self-propelled particle models capturing the collective motion of fish schools to models in mathematical neuroscience describing the interactions between neurons to individual-based models of ecological interactions.

  5. 4. The Art of Modelling Oscillations and Feedback across Biological Scales

    Författare :Linnéa Gyllingberg; David J. T. Sumpter; Helen Byrne; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mathematical biology; mathematical modelling; oscillations; feedback mechanisms; dynamical systems; individual-based models; complex systems; Tillämpad matematik och statistik; Applied Mathematics and Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four papers in the field of mathematical biology. All papers aim to advance our understanding of biological systems through the development and application of innovative mathematical models. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Modelling Evolution : From non-life, to life, to a variety of life

    Författare :Yu Liu; David J. T. Sumpter; Peter Dittrich; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical biology; Biocomplexity; Artificial chemistry; Ecosystem evolution; Origin of life; Self-replication; Prebiotic evolution; Collectively-catalytic; Golden ratio; Tillämpad matematik och statistik; Applied Mathematics and Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : Life is able to replicate itself, e.g., a microorganism is able to divide into two identical ones, and a single plant is able to forest a whole island. LÄS MER
