Synonymy relationship and stochastic processes in determination of flow equations in ecological models

Abstract

A flow equation obtained through multiple linear regressions is a static concept fixed for a time t. However, experience says that the temporal component makes the information obtained from the flow equation in terms of coefficients of determination. In this paper we show that a 1-degree variation in such coefficients behaves like a Wiener process based on the Gaussian distribution. As an application, we study the destruction of fruits in Cistus albidus L.
