Abstract:: One dimensional nonlinear difference equations have been used to model population growth. The standard biological models have the interesting characteristic that they display global stability if they display local stability. Various researchers have sought a simple explanation for this agreement of local and global stability. Here, we show that enveloping...

Abstract:: This paper studies the problem of learning diagnostic policies from training examples. A diagnostic policy is a complete description of the decision-making actions of a diagnostician (i.e., tests followed by a diagnostic decision) for all possible combinations of test results. An optimal diagnostic policy is one that minimizes the expected...

Abstract:: Equations for predicting individual-tree height growth per 5-year period are presented for Douglas-fir, white fir, grand fir, ponderosa pine, sugar pine, and incense-cedar growing in the mixed-conifer zone of southwest Oregon. The data used to develop the equations came from 3,648 trees sampled from 391 stands in the study area....
