A new Bayesian method for nonparametric capture-recapture models in presence of heterogeneity
存在异质性时非参数捕获—再捕获模型的新贝叶斯方法
The intrinsic heterogeneity of individuals is a potential source of bias in estimation procedures for capture‐recapture models. To account for this heterogeneity in the model a hierarchical structure has been proposed whereby the probabilities that each animal is caught on a single occasion are modelled as independent draws from a common unknown distribution F. However, there is general agreement that modelling F by a simple parametric curve may lead to unsatisfactory…
