A Competing‐Risk Model for Animal Mortality
TL;DR: A three—component competing—rick model for animal mortality is presented, in which the additive hazards include a new model, dominant during the prematurity period; a constant hazard, dominant During the period of maturity; and the conventional Gompertz hazard, dominates during senescence.

Abstract: A three—component competing—rick model for animal mortality is presented, in which the additive hazards include a new model, dominant during the prematurity period; a constant hazard, dominant during the period of maturity; and the conventional Gompertz hazard, dominant during senescence. A good fit of the model is obtained to survival data for a variety of species, with both laboratory and field data being represented. Interpretation of the model parameters in terms of animal adjustment to hazards is offered. See full-text article at JSTOR

Multivariate cumulative probit for age estimation using ordinal categorical data.
TL;DR: While the assumption of conditional independence between traits greatly simplifies the use of parametric models in age estimation, this assumption is not a necessary step and there are considerable residual correlations between ectocranial suture closure scores even after ‘regressing out’ the effect of age.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate how integral projection models and matrix models differ, as well as the extent to which these differences matter for estimation of key model outputs, including population growth rates, sensitivity patterns, and life spans.
Estimating survival rates with age-structure data
TL;DR: A likelihood-based approach allows use of standard model-selection procedures to test hypotheses about age-structure stability, population growth rates, and age-related patterns in survival and is used to estimate survival rates for female sea otters in Prince William Sound, Alaska.

Quantifying injury to common bottlenose dolphins from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill using an age-, sex- and class-structured population model

TL;DR: A sexand agestructured model of population growth and included additional class structure to represent dolphins exposed and unexposed to DWH oil was constructed and applied for multiple stocks to predict injured population trajectories using estimates of post-spill survival and reproductive rates.

Theoretical explanation of observed decreasing failure rate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the theorem that a mixture of distributions each having a non-increasing failure rate (e.g., a mix of exponential distributions) itself has a non increasing failure rate, and the apparent decreasing failure rate of the pooled air-conditioning life distribution was satisfactorily explained.

An analysis of some failure data
