10-100-S-InsectOutbreaks
17 Aug 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Jacob Paul Duncan
The mountain pine beetle (MPB, Dendroctonus ponderosae), a tree-killing bark beetle, has historically been part of the normal disturbance regime in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests. In recent years, warmer weather has allowed MPB populations to achieve synchronous emergence and successful...

1-108-S-PoissonProcess
27 Aug 2018 | | Contributor(s):: Mehdi Hakim-Hashemi
In this project students learn to derive the probability density function (pdf) of the Poisson distribution and the cumulative distribution (cdf) of the waiting time. They will use them to solve problems in stochastic processes.
