Sample Size Calculations for Population Size Estimation Studies Using Multiplier Methods With Respondent-Driven Sampling Surveys
BACKGROUND While guidance exists for obtaining population size estimates using multiplier methods with respondent-driven sampling surveys, we lack specific guidance for making sample size decisions. OBJECTIVE To guide the design of multiplier method population size estimation studies using respondent-driven sampling surveys to reduce the random error around the estimate obtained. METHODS Th...
متن کاملEffects of social organization, trap arrangement and density, sampling scale, and population density on bias in population size estimation using some common mark-recapture estimators
Mark-recapture estimators are commonly used for population size estimation, and typically yield unbiased estimates for most solitary species with low to moderate home range sizes. However, these methods assume independence of captures among individuals, an assumption that is clearly violated in social species that show fission-fusion dynamics, such as the Asian elephant. In the specific case of...
متن کاملCentre Sampling for Estimating Elusive Population Size
The estimation of the size of an elusive population is a problem frequently addressed in many fields of applications. In the paper a sampling strategy for the estimation of the size, named centre sampling, is proposed, and its properties are evaluated in a design-based approach. The estimator is admissible, consistent and the design is measurable. The expressions of the variance of the populati...
متن کاملFlexible estimation of joint probability and joint cumulative density functions
The aim of this reported work is to extend a recent, simple and effective algorithm for the estimation of the probability density function and cumulative density function to the case of bidimensional random vectors. The algorithm is based on an information maximisation approach. The nonlinear bidimensional function involved in the algorithm is adaptively modified during learning and is implemen...
متن کاملA finite-population revenue management model and a risk-ratio procedure for the joint estimation of population size and parameters
Many dynamic revenue management models divide the sale period into a finite number of periods T and assume, invoking a fine-enough grid of time, that each period sees at most one booking request. These Poisson-type assumptions restrict the variability of the demand in the model, but researchers and practitioners were willing to overlook this for the benefit of tractability of the models. In thi...
