Individual and Population Approaches for Calibrating Division Rates in Population Dynamics: Application to the Bacterial Cell Cycle

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Modelling, analysing and inferring triggering mechanisms in population reproduction is fundamental in many biological applications. It is also an active and growing research domain in mathematical biology. In this chapter, we review the main results developed over the last decade for the estimation of the division rate in growing and dividing populations in a steady environment. These methods combine tools borrowed from PDE's and stochastic processes, with a certain view that emerges from mathematical statistics. A focus on the application to the bacterial cell division cycle provides a concrete presentation, and may help the reader to identify major new challenges in the field.
