Bayesian capture-recapture methods for error detection and estimation of population size: Heterogeneity and dependence
用于错误检测与总体规模估计的贝叶斯捕获—再捕获方法:异质性与依赖性
This paper considers estimation of the unknown size N of a population based on multiple capture‐recapture samples. We extend the Bayesian multiple recapture model to accommodate possible heterogeneity and dependence among the samples and possible heterogeneity within the samples. In the dependent model, we show that posterior inference for N is independent of almost all the nuisance parameters. We develop a flexible Bayesian model for heterogeneity within samples and…
