Estimating Recreational User Counts
提出一种方法，利用站点层面的计数和调查数据，估算一组休闲场所的个体访客总数及特定群体数量，适用于多站点、多访客模式，并通过蒙特卡洛模拟和实证应用验证。
This article outlines a methodology for estimating the number of individual visitors to a set of recreational sites, as well as counts of specific visitor groups. The model is designed for sets of sites characterized by: ( a ) unrestricted recreation from a wide and partially unknown geographic market; ( b ) individuals who may visit more than one site; ( c ) accurate visitation (gate) counts from each site. The model provides consistent estimates of the total number of individual visitors, based on information embedded in site‐level count and survey data. Monte Carlo analysis and an empirical application illustrate the properties of visitor count estimates.
