A greedy nearest-neighbor approach to quantify site revisitation: comparing two sympatric raven species
Bar Ashkenazi, Miguel de Guinea, Michael Assaf +1
A central challenge in movement ecology is to describe ecologically meaningful residence sites from raw tracking data due to heterogeneous sampling frequency and uncertain site bou…
Harvesting Reshapes Dynamical Populations
R. K. Singh, Michael Assaf, Jason R. Green +1
Harvesting -- the periodic removal of individuals above or below a threshold trait value -- reshapes heterogeneous populations without altering their underlying stochastic dynamics…
Outbreak-size distributions under fluctuating rates
Jason Hindes, Luis Mier-y-Teran-Romero, Ira B. Schwartz +1
We study the effect of noisy infection (contact) and recovery rates on the distribution of outbreak sizes in the stochastic SIR model. The rates are modeled as Ornstein-Uhlenbeck p…
Mitigating Emergency Department Crowding With Stochastic Population Models
Gil Parnass, Osnat Levtzion-Korach, Renana Peres +1
Environments such as shopping malls, airports, or hospital emergency departments often experience crowding, with many people simultaneously requesting service. Crowding is highly n…
Non-Markovian gene expression
Ohad Vilk, Ralf Metzler, Michael Assaf
We study two non-Markovian gene-expression models in which protein production is a stochastic process with a fat-tailed non-exponential waiting time distribution (WTD). For both mo…
Heterogeneity can markedly increase final outbreak size in the SIR model of epidemics
Alexander Leibenzon, Michael Assaf
We study the SIR model of epidemics on positively correlated heterogeneous networks with population variability, and explore the dependence of the final outbreak size on the networ…
