This book describes a powerful and flexible technique for the modeling of behavior, based on evolutionary principles. The technique employs a stochastic dynamic programming and permits the analysis of behavioral adaptations wherein organisms respond to changes in their environme…
A self-teaching introduction to the construction, testing, and application of dynamic state variable models. These are highly flexible individual optimization models of behavior involving restraints and tradeoffs as they affect individual fitness. This model approach employs the…
