Tiivistelmä
The content discusses the application of information theory in estimating traits parameters for species evolution. It explores Fisher's information and its role in understanding evolutionary dynamics. The paper delves into single and multiple trait models, providing insights into population dynamics and equilibrium points. The analysis includes simulations to illustrate the proposed estimation method and highlights the significance of minimizing or maximizing information for accurate parameter estimation.

Given an observable random variable X depending on a parameter (or trait) θ, its Fisher’s information I(θ) represents the amount of information that the random variable contains about the parameter.
The Fisher’s information matrix I(Θ) is constant and provides insights into uncertainty on the estimation process.
For one species with two traits, nontrivial fixed points are characterized by equations involving G-functions and competition constants.
