摘要:One way in which a capture-recapture experiment can be designed is to count each capture occasion as a separate sample, and tally the number of individuals caught once, twice, and so on. This paper discusses the estimators currently used for this type of experiment, and suggests some new ones. Each of the estimators is categorized by its derivation. Following this, their properties are discussed, particularly their bias and variance, with the aim of choosing one or two of the estimators which ...

摘要:This paper presents a new method of testing capture homogeneity in recapture experiments where there is time homogeneity. The basic set of statistics used is a lower triangular matrix whose (i, k)th element is the proportion of those animals caught on the next (i + 1)st occasion who have been caught k times until now. Both theoretical and simulation evidence is presented that the new procedure is superior to methods previously suggested.
