Biological Applications
Stochastic dynamic programming is frequently used to model animal behaviour in such fields as behavioural ecology. Empirical tests of models of optimal foraging, life-history transitions such as fledging in birds and egg laying in parasitoid wasps have shown the value of this modelling technique in explaining the evolution of behavioural decision making. These models are typically many staged, rather than two-staged.
