Stochastic growth rate and quasi-extinction: first crossing latch · case 03

Quasi-extinction time reports the last dip instead of the first.

Member previewVariant 3 · 3 implementations · 7 checks per implementation

Case contract

Geometric mean growth exp(mean ln lambda) determines trend (declining <1, stable ==1, growing >1); arithmetic mean reported alongside; trajectory multiplies N by each lambda; quasi-extinction time is the first 1-based year with N < threshold or None; return [geo, arith, trajectory, hit, trend]; None for empty, non-positive lambdas or N0<=0.

Why this case matters

Population projections set harvest quotas, conservation status and pest-control timing; a wrong update order, boundary or rate conversion silently changes management advice.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: dip and recovery	`[1.177132, 1.55, [40.0, 32.0, 96.0, 192.0], 2, "growing"]`	`[1.177132, 1.55, [40.0, 32.0, 96.0, 192.0], 1, "growing"]`	Failed
