A Bayesian Capture–Recapture Population Model With Simultaneous Estimation of Heterogeneity
同时估计异质性的贝叶斯捕获再捕获种群模型
We develop a Bayesian capture-recapture model that provides estimates of abundance as well as time-varying and heterogeneous survival and capture probability distributions. The model uses a state-space approach by incorporating an underlying population model and an observation model, and here is applied to photo-identification data to estimate trends in the abundance and survival of a population of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in northeast Scotland.
