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

TL;DR: The thesis develops some ecologically-motivated criteria for identifying possible function(s) that population-specific function cannot usually be selected based on data, and develops some objective criteria for that selection based on ecological and statistical acceptability.

Assessing Population Trend and Risk of Extinction for Cetaceans Lacking Long-Term Census Baselines
TL;DR: An integrative perspective, the systematic demographic analysis, is proposed, to solve life history and demographic parameters essential for status and risk assessment for the cetacean populations and the need to integrate the histories of long-term land use and landscape change when formulating habitat management programme is emphasized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of an intensive demographic study of this population that was conducted just prior to the reestablishment of wolves in Yellowstone National Park, which was conducted before the reintroduction of wolves.

Five years later, with double the demographic data, naked mole-rat mortality rates continue to defy Gompertzian laws by not increasing with age
TL;DR: In this article , the authors re-evaluated their prior conclusions in light of these new data and found them to be supported and indeed strengthened, and provided insight into the social dynamics of captive Heterocephalus glaber with data and analyses of body weight and colony size versus mortality.

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
TL;DR: The rationale and statistical techniques employed in the analysis of some failure data obtained from operations performed by machines and people are summarized and the agreement between theory and data is evaluated.
