Abstract:
|
The objective of this work is to present a probability model for the data in a two source capture recapture situation. The model uses nonhomogeneous Poisson point processes and constructs a sequence of point processes that models the construction (incidence of decisions) of the lists. In this model the "capture probabilities" may be time dependent. The resulting data is a 2 by 2 table as usual, whose entries are independent Poisson random variables. The intensities for all point processes are given in closed form.
