Inference for Poisson and multinomial models for capture-recapture experiments

Applied Mathematics

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Capture-recapture models have been formulated both as Poisson and as multinomial distributions. Maximum likelihood estimates of parameters under the two models are compared. For parameters which do not involve the population size the asymptotic covariances are shown to be the same.
