Generative models are an underutilized tool in bioarchaeology that make it possible to directly interrogate how age-at-death is influenced by varied risk of exposure to stressors, while accounting for factors which are ordinarily invisible to bioarchaeologists. Further, the visibility of suspected differences within populations at the sorts of sample sizes common to bioarchaeology can also be examined, helping to inform interpretation of findings.

用于探索生物考古背景下与压力源暴露风险相关的死亡率差异的生成模型

生成模型是生物考古学中一个未得到充分利用的工具，它可以直接询问死亡年龄如何受到暴露于压力源的不同风险的影响，同时考虑生物考古学家通常看不到的因素。此外，还可以检查生物考古学常见的各种样本量的种群内可疑差异的可见性，有助于为研究结果的解释提供信息。
