A Three-Sample Multiple-Recapture Approach to Census Population Estimation with Heterogeneous Catchability
捕获概率异质性下人口估计的三样本多重再捕获方法
A central assumption in the standard capture-recapture approach to the estimation of the size of a closed population is the homogeneity of the “capture” probabilities. In this article we develop an approach that allows for varying susceptibility to capture through individual parameters using a variant of the Rasch model from psychological measurement situations. Our approach requires an additional recapture. In the context of census undercount estimation, this requirement…
