On the Statistical Analysis of Capture Experiments
提出了一种利用协变量建模个体捕获概率的方法,从捕获-再捕获数据中估计封闭种群的大小,并给出了大样本渐近正态和小样本自助法的置信区间。
A procedure is given for estimating the size of a closed population in the presence of heterogeneous capture probabilities using capture-recapture data when it is possible to model the capture probabilities of individuals in the population using covariates. The results include the estimation of the parameters associated with the model of the capture probabilities and the use of these estimated capture probabilities to estimate the population size. Confidence intervals for the population size using both the asymptotic normality of the estimator and a bootstrap procedure for small samples are given.
