This paper compares the deterministic and stochastic predictors of nonlinear models when the disturbances are small. Large-sample properties of these predictors have been analyzed extensively in the ...

The frequency distributions can characterize the population-potential landscape related to the stability of ecological states. We illustrate the practical utility of this approach by analyzing a ...

Stochastic dynamical systems arise in many scientific fields, such as asset prices in financial markets, neural activity in ...

Biologists have concluded that developmental evolution is deterministic and orderly, rather than random, based on a study of different species of roundworms. The researchers note that even where we ...
