Cod collapse
(salinty, temperature,

What role might social processes have played in the collapse of cod?
Might changes in human behaviour have contributed to, or alternatively held
back, the collapse?
What lessons can we learn for future governance of the Baltic Sea? How can
we avoid similar regime shifts in the future?

(eigenvectors)
Unstable
Stable
Model validation:
Cod, JuvenileCod, Pseudocalanus decrease
Sprat, TimeSpentFishing increase
Loop dominance
What is the relative contribution of each feedback loop to overall stability?
In systems dynamics, cumbersome procedure
Directly from Jacobian:

Model experiments
Sensitivity to assumptions about fisherman behaviour
Profit-maximising vs satisficing
Hypotheticals: What if
Subsidies were not present?
There had been effective monitoring and regulation? Scientific advice
had been heeded?
Fisherman could have easily switched to other fish?
Ecology had been different?
West-coast fishermen had not come in to the Baltic?
Question: Other processes it might be worthwhile exploring?

Outline
Existing fire history concepts and definitions ambiguities and contradictions. Revised definitions.
Estimating historical fire interval from scar data (surface fires); and
Estimating historical fire interval from time-sincefire-map data (stand-replacing fires).
Also testing for change points for fire frequency; and
identifying change points.
Definitions currently in use (Johnson & Van Wagner, 1985; Johnson & Gutsell, 1994):
hazard of burning - statisticians hazard rate at any
location.
fire interval - exepected time between fires at a point
(reciprocal of hazard of burning if assumed constant
over time).
annual percent burn
fire cycle - time to burn an area equal to that of
the study area (reciprocal of annual percent burn if
constant from year to year).
Revised definitions.
Assume temporal homogeneity for the fire process over
a given area (size A) and define the area-wide hazard
of burning as
"
(independent of t because of assume temporal homogeneity). Now define the local hazard of burning
"
(x) = lim
Let h(x, y) be the conditional probability that a fire ignited at location x spreads to location y. If the location
y of an ignition has a probability density f (y) over the
area A, it follows that
(x) =
Z
A
say.
FI =

(One could also define an area-wide fire interval expected time between fires anywhere in study area 1 = pF I.)

14
Assume a simple random sample of trees has been examined for scars.
15
17
In epoch j (= 1, 2, . . . , J) let
j
xj. = Pr=1
xj,r denote total number of scars registered in epoch.
18
Also let
mj denote the number of dates when fires which registered no scars on the sample trees were ignited in
epoch j.
N.B the mj are unobserved variables.
The total number of fires ignited in the area over the
total time T (since start of first epoch) is
J
X
nj + mj = n + m
j=1
19
20
Now if scars were registered independently of one another on sample objects, given that a fire has ignited,
the distribution of the number of scars registered (Xj,r )
for a given fire (r) in epoch j would be
Bin(Nj , p)
But clearly assumption of independence not valid (fires
spread spatially!) as following results of a binomial dispersion test (for Dugout region of Blue Mountains, E.
Oregon) indicate:

23
MLEs of and p can be found by maximizing quasilikelihood over and p using EM algorithm;
to estimate overdispersion parameter use a moment
estimator.
It turns out that EM can be done analytically!

Fake data.
MLEs:

q = 0.4006;
95% CI for FI: 3.6 45.4 years. Estimate of overdispersion parameter = 1.971
NB. Mean (and standard deviation) of 9 inter-fire intervals is 25.22 (and 20.74) years.

33
Theory:
again assume homogeneity over study area.
at any given location the probability j that it belongs to time-since-fire class j (i.e. originated between
(j 1)T and jT years ago) can be calculated as the
probability of a fire at the location between (j 1)T
and jT years ago; and no fire there subsequently. Thus
j = exp
j1
X

(i)T
(i)
(1 exp T ) )
i=1
where (i) is the (local) hazard of burning which prevailed between (i 1)T and iT years ago.
34
for j = 1, 2, . . . , p
and
j = ep1T e(jp1)2T (1e2T ), for j = p + 1, p + 2, . . .
and so on for two or more change points ....
If fires didnt spread spatially one could assume independence of times since fire at distinct locations, and
thus a multinomial distribution for areas in age classes;
but because of contagious effects of fire independence is again unrealistic; instead assume an overdispersed multinomial distribution and corresponding
quasi-likelihood:
1X
Q=
yj log j
j
where is overdispersion parameter; and yj is either the
number of sample points, or the area in time-since-fire
class j
Can maximize over 1 (for single epoch model); or over
1 and 2 (for two epoch model); etc........
