Abstract
Two models for avoidance of superparasitism are compared and shown to be close approximations to each other. Previous proposed parameter estimation procedures require iterative determination of the estimates. A simpler procedure, the method of mean and zero frequency is proposed. For this method explicit formulae are available for the estimates. A further important advantage is the increased efficiency relative to the alternative estimation procedures.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
