| Correlations, dependency bounds and extinction risks | |
| 1995 Biological Conservation (73): 101-105 | |
Methods for estimating bounds on extinction risks are described for cases where correlations among the parameters in a quantitative population viability analysis are unknown, and more generally where the forms of statistical dependence among the model's parameters are unknown. An example using Leadbeater's possum _Gymnobelideus leadbeateri_ shows that making incorrect assumptions about correlations and dependencies may lead to severe over-estimation or under-estimation of extinction risks. |
