Title: Bayesian Models for Estimation of Population Size in Presence of Heterogeneity
Author(s): Sanjib Basu*+
Companies: Northern Illinois University
Address: Division of Statistics, De Kalb, IL, 60115,
Keywords: capture-recapture ; closed population
Abstract:

Capture-recapture methods are used to estimate the unknown size of a population. They are applied to estimate the sizes of biological populations, to estimate the number of undetected errors remaining in a software and to estimate undercount in census and epidemiological registries. I will consider Bayesian parametric and semiparametric models for estimation of population size in presence of heterogeneity in the population.
