Inference for a Two-Dimensional Stochastic Growth Model
二维随机生长模型的统计推断
Williams & Bjerknes (1972) suggested a model for the growth of abnormal cells in a plane. Abnormal cells are assumed to divide k times faster than normal cells. In this paper an unbiased minimum variance estimator of k is obtained and the estimates obtained from simulated growths are compared with the actual values. A method of estimating ft from the ‘crinkliness’ of a growth, as suggested by Mollison (1972), is also considered.
