When I was a graduate student more than twenty five years ago, I was struggling to read
many statistical research papers. This is particularly true at the time when I had passed my …

The continuing development of improved capture–recapture (CR) modeling techniques
used to study apex predators has also limited robust temporal and cross-site analyses due …

Open population capture-recapture models are widely used to estimate population
demographics and abundance over time. Bayesian methods exist to incorporate open …

Estimation of abundance is important in both open and closed population capture–recapture
analysis, but unmodeled heterogeneity of capture probability leads to negative bias in …

Estimation of population abundance is a common problem in wildlife ecology and
management. Capture‐mark‐reencounter (CMR) methods using marked animals are a …

In spatial surveys for estimating the density of objects in a survey region, systematic designs
will generally yield lower variance than random designs. However, estimating the systematic …

We introduce a general class of capture-recapture models in which capture probabilities
depend on capture history. We discuss constrained versions of the saturated model based …

Capture-recapture experiments are widely used to collect data needed for estimating the
abundance of a closed population. To account for heterogeneity in the capture probabilities …

Capture–recapture experiments are widely used cost-effective sampling techniques for
estimating population sizes or abundances in biology, ecology, demography, epidemiology …

We develop a multi-state model to estimate the size of a closed population from capture–
recapture studies. We consider the case where capture–recapture data are not of a simple …
