摘要: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 model have provided grounds to propose more sophisticated growth
models using, for instance, the former as a basis. Since the Verhulst model and
some generalizations of it are closely connected to extreme value distributions, either
max-geometric-stable or max-stable, we show that the parameter attached to the
retroaction factor of these generalized models establishes, on its own, which extreme
value distribution is adequate to model risks of extreme events in population dynamics.
