Logistic and Gompertz growth equations are the usual choice to model sustainable growth
and immoderate growth causing depletion of resources, respectively. Observing that the …

The 'School of Extremes' in Portugal is nowadays well recognized by the international
scientific community. This recognition is mainly due to the scientific work of Tiago de Oliveira …

A very popular model in population dynamics, which has been around since the first half of
the nineteenth century, is the Verhulst logistic model. However, some limitations of this …

Starting from the Beta (2, 2) model, connected to the Verhulst logistic parabola, several
extensions are discussed, and connections to extremal models are revealed. Aside from the …

A logistic approximation was used to describe, in terms of total length (L) and population (H)
variables, the growth and decay of historic transportation systems. Three successive stages …

Short-time transients recorded in “dry” open circuit potential (OCP) measurements
performed on archaeological iron artifacts are modeled based on their ascription to pitting …

The Portuguese School of Extremes and Applications (PORTSEA) is nowadays well
recognized by the international scientific community, and in my opinion, the organization of a …

The BetaBoop (p, q, P, Q), p, q, P, Q> 0, family of random variables includes as special
cases Beta (p, q) random variables, which are known to be quite versatile in modeling …

Random damage—deletion of (X1: 2, X2: 2) from [0, 1]—followed by random repair,
meaning the union of (Y1: 2, Y2: 2) to the damaged set, where X and Y are independent …
