An essential component of all software inspection processes is a well-founded decision about continuing or stopping the current process. This decision should be based upon directly relevant quantitative information – the number of defects remaining in the artefact. This quantity can be estimated by the use of capturerecapture methods. Several Software Engineering papers have explored this topic...

Software defect content estimation is important, to control and ensure software quality. One possible method to achieve this is by applying capturerecapture methods. This type of methods can be applied on data collected from reviews, and it can be used to estimate the remaining number of defects after a review. This paper focuses on replicating a previous study made by other researchers. The re...

-We estimated annual survival of Snail Kites (Rostrhamus sociabilis) in Florida using the Kaplan-Meier estimator with data from 271 radio-tagged birds over a three-year period and capture-recapture (resighting) models with data from 1,319 banded birds over a six-year period. We tested the hypothesis that survival differed among three age classes using both data sources. We tested additional hyp...

Fleury et al. [1] reported that the prevalence of human neurocysticercosis (NC) caused by Taenia solium, pork tapeworm, in Tepetzezintla, Mexico, was 6.5–9.1%. NC is caused by the encysted larval stage (cysticercus) occurring in the brain. The prevalence of NC has not been very well established and is likely higher than reported estimates. Studies determining the prevalence of NC are difficult ...

In recent years capture-recapture methods have experienced important theoretical developments. New application areas have been added to their spectrum, in turn supporting new developments on the methodological side. Hence it appears appropriate to take a closer look at some of these developments. This is the objective of this special theme in the current issue of the Biometrical Journal. The co...

I review the use of auxiliary variables in capturerecapture models for estimation of demographic parameters (e.g. capture probability, population size, survival probability, and recruitment, emig ration and immigration numbers). I focus on what has been done in current research and what still needs to be done. Typically in the literature, covariate modelling has made capture and survival probab...
