Estimation of Survival in Marked Populations with Possibly Dependent Sighting Probabilities
目击概率可能相关时标记种群生存概率的估计
A simply parameterized class of models for the estimation of survival probability in a marked population is introduced which allows tests of dependence between sighting probabilities and constancy of survival or sighting probabilities. Estimation and hypothesis testing based on the likelihood function are discussed. By simulation, the asymptotic properties of the test for dependence are shown to hold for quite modest sample sizes. The degree of bias in estimation of survival…
