Introductory Lectures on Stochastic Population Systems

Abstract

These notes provide a review of basic stochastic population models including branching processes and models of population genetics. Measure-valued population models including superprocesses and Fleming-Viot processes are also introduced together some basic methods for their analysis.

256 pages, 5 figures. These notes also appear as Technical Report No. 451 in the Technical Report Series of the Laboratory for Research in Statistics and Probability of the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada
