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 the distribution of capture probabilities. This is follow...

A Review of Methods for Point and Interval Estimation of Population Size in Capture-Recapture Studies

Estimates of population size in a classical capture-recapture experiment are obtained by method of moments and maximum likelihood estimation. Exact confidence intervals using the hypergeometric distribution (the general method) and approximate confidence intervals using the normal approximation and separately, the binomial approximation are illustrated. Estimates of coverage probabilities are e...
