What is a Death Rate?

"The ratio of total deaths to total population in a specified community or area over a specified period of time" [1]

The death rate of of a certain animal increases when there are more of an animal's predator, and decreases when the animal doesn't have many predators. If there is a boom in a predator population, more of the pray will die off.[3]

Death Rates can be classified into different categories, such as age, sex, and race. For deer, they can be classified age and species. This helps to tell how healthy some species are.[4]
The recursive belief update method can be expressed in a more formalized manner, but let us ease into that formalization with examples of the predator-prey domain in which the identity of the agents is not known with certainty. The domain usually consists of four predator agents that must coordinate with each other to capture a single prey agent. In certain scenarios the agents are not allowed to communicate. For these scenarios an agent must rely on its knowledge and observations of the other agent's actions to determine who's who. For our example we will limit this predator-prey world to just two agents, as shown in Figure 2.
