1-018-S-LogisticPopGrowth
04 Jun 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We offer artificial (toy) and historical data on limited growth population situations in the study of protozoa and lead students through several approaches to estimating parameters and determining the validity of the logistic model in these situations.

30 Oct 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We use a fake or toy data set to permit discovery of the parameters in a two population protozoan model used to study paramecium and yeast competiton in the 1930's studies of G.~F.~Gause in the Soviet Union.

6-067-S-LotkaVolterra
07 Aug 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Iordanka Panayotova, Maila Hallare
This modeling scenario guides students through the process of fitting the Lotka-Volterra model of two differential equations to a real time series observational data. Students use the capabilities of R and R studio, an integrated development environment for R, and the gauseR package, a collection...
