Statistical methods for paleodemography on fossil assemblages having small numbers of specimens: an investigation of dinosaur survival rates
We describe statistical methods to formulate and validate statements about survival rates given a small number of individuals. These methods allow one to estimate the age-specific survival rate and assess its uncertainty, to assess whether the survival rates during some age range differ from the sur...
