Robust Estimation of Population Size in Closed Animal Populations from Capture-Recapture Experiments
Robust Estimation of Population Size in Closed Animal Populations from Capture-Recapture Experiments
In this paper the problem of finding robust estimators of population size in closed K-sample capture-recapture experiments is considered. Particular attention is paid to models where heterogeneity of capture probabilities is allowed. First, a general estimation procedure is given which does not depend on any assumptions about the form of …
