Statistical Methods for Nonlinear Dynamic Models with Measurement Error Using the Ricker Model

In ecological population management, years of animal counts are fit to nonlinear, dynamic models (e.g. the Ricker model) because the values of the parameters are of interest. The yearly counts are subject to measurement error, which inevitably leads to biased estimates and adversely affects inferenc...
