Multinomial models with unknown index (“sample size”) arise in many practical settings. In
practice, Bayesian analysis of such models has proved difficult because the dimension of …

One of the major objections to the standard multiple-recapture approach to population
estimation is the assumption of homogeneity of individual 'capture'probabilities. Modelling …

The quantity and quality of administrative information available to National Statistical
Institutes have been constantly increasing over the past several years. However, different …

We investigate the use of two or more linked lists, for both population size estimation and the
relationship between variables appearing on all or only some lists. This relationship is …

We present a model to estimate the size of an unknown population from a number of lists
that applies when the assumptions of (a) homogeneity of capture probabilities of individuals …

Background Globally, men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to bear a
disproportionately high burden of HIV infection. Rwanda experiences a mixed HIV epidemic …

In this article, we show that, if subjects are assumed to be homogeneous within a finite set of
latent classes, the basic restrictions of the Rasch model (conditional independence and …

This chapter argues that both issues, of uncertainty of detection and uncertainty of state
identification, are present in the data at hand. It provides to a capture–recapture setting …

We propose a method for estimating the size of a population in a multiple record system in
the presence of missing data. The method is based on a latent class model where the …
