<i>N</i>‐Mixture Models for Estimating Population Size from Spatially Replicated Counts
Spatial replication is a common theme in count surveys of animals. Such surveys often generate sparse count data from which it is difficult to estimate population size while formally accounting for detection probability. In this article, I describe a class of models (N-mixture models) which allow for estimation of population …
