A Note on the Exact Maximum Likelihood Estimation of the Size of a Finite and Closed Population
利用捕获-再捕获顺序抽样数据，给出了总体规模最大似然估计的解析表达式，并证明有界似然函数至多有两个极大值，在简单一对一情形下估计唯一。
Using data obtained by the general capture-recapture sequential sampling process, an analytical expression for the maximum likelihood estimate of the population size is introduced. It is shown that the bounded likelihood functions have at most two maxima. For the simple one-to-one case the estimate is unique.
