Models for testing : A secondary note

Johannes Reddingius. Oecologia. 1990 May.

Abstract

This is a comment on a note by Solow (1990). It is shown that Solow's simulation results indicate that Bulmer's test for density dependence is non-robust to a particular kind of second-order Markovity that might well be overlooked by an ecologist. It is suggested that Solow's claim that Bulmer's test is insensitive is not wholly justified. Some scepticism concerning the applicability of statistical testing theory to animal population data is expressed.

Keywords: Autoregressive process; Census data; Density dependence; Markovity.
