Capture-Recapture Estimation in the Presence of a Known Sex Ratio
Capture-Recapture Estimation in the Presence of a Known Sex Ratio
RR86-20
Introduction
Potential failure of the independence assumption has been cited as a key problem for the dual-system or capture-recapture model for more than 30 years. In this note, a certain solution to the problem is achieved by replacing the independence assumption by another assumption thought generally to be less objectionable. The solution may have wide areas of application, but is specifically applicable to the problem of estimating coverage error in a census of a human population.
