Recursive Estimation in Capture-Recapture Methods

Estimation of Road Traffic Mortality in Kurdistan Province, Iran, During 2004-2009, Using Capture-Recapture Method

Background: To reduce traffic injuries in the country, health professionals should have accurate estimates of road traffic deaths. Multiple and sometimes inconsistent statistics presented by organizations in charge create high degree of uncertainty for planners and decision makers. To achieve an accurate estimate, several methods are available. Of them, capture-recapture method ...

Nonparametric Density Estimation for Capture-Recapture

Capture-recapture (CRC) is a way to estimate the size of a population by combining multiple incomplete lists of population units. Accurate estimators must model dependence between lists. One kind of dependence is unit-level list dependence, in which previous capture directly reduces the probability of subsequent capture. Another kind of dependence arises indirectly from the heterogeneity in cap...

Capture-Recapture Estimation of Population Size

Applications of Capture-Recapture Methods ARCH06V40N1_I

Applications of capture-recapture procedures go back to at least 1896, to the work of Petersen [1896], who was interested in the size of fish populations. Another early paper by Lincoln [1930] was concerned with waterfowl. The method gets its name from such applications concerned with estimating the number of fish in a pond, or more generally, estimating the population size of various species i...
