Migrating Birds Stop over Longer than Usually Thought: An Improved Capture-Recapture Analysis

Migrating birds stop over longer than usually thought: An improved capture-recapture analysis

Migrating animals often divide their journey into alternating phases of migration bouts and stopping over. For investigating many questions of migration ecology it is crucial (1) to estimate the duration of stopover phases, and (2) to test whether animals of different groups differ in their stopover behavior. Using recent advances in capture-recapture statistics, we show how total stopover dura...

Improved inference on capture recapture models with behavioural effects

In the context of capture-recapture modeling for estimating the unknown size of a finite population it is often required a flexible framework for dealing with a behavioural response to trapping. Many alternative settings have been proposed in the literature to account for the variation of capture probability at each occasion depending on the previous capture history. Inference is typically carr...

An Estimation of Drug-Related Deaths in Iran, Using the Capture-Recapture Method (2014-2016)

Capture-recapture and Removal Experiments

The dependence of animal capture probabilities on auxiliary variables is an important practical problem which has not been considered when developing the statistical methodology of population estimation for capture-recapture and removal experiments. In this paper the linear logistic binary regression model is used to relate the probability of capture to continuous auxiliary variables. The auxil...
