Capture-recapture modelling [PDF]

open access: possible, 2012
The chapter describes capture-recapture modelling in the context of TB incidence estimation. Familiarity with the R computing language will help to follow the example. The chapter is intended primarily for epidemiologists and statisticians who are involved in or have an interest in inventory ...

Capture–Recapture Experiments

2013
This chapter deals with a very special case of survey models. Surveys are used in many settings to evaluate some features of a given population, including its main characteristic, the size of the population. In the case of capture–recapture surveys, individuals are observed and identified either once or several times and the repeated observations can ...

Capture—Recapture: Open Populations

1998
Capture—recapture studies were introduced in the last chapter. Historically, the goal of such studies has been to estimate population size. They are appropriate when the animals can be captured, marked, and recaptured without adversely affecting their behavior.

Capture-recapture

1997
Une expérience de "capture-marquage-recapture" (CMR) suppose que l'animal capturé soit relâché après son marquage, qu'il retourne dans sa population d'origine et qu'on essaie ensuite de le recapturer. Les caractéristiques importantes des données recueillies sont qu'elles sont issues de suivi individuel en temps discret d'animaux vivants.

Capture-Recapture: Closed Populations

1998
The methods for estimating the population density of organisms presented in earlier chapters are applicable when the sampling unit is well defined. Examples of these sampling units include a plant, a leaf, a fruit, a nest, and a quadrat. Brock (1954) found it impractical to use these methods when studying reef fish populations because the terrain was ...

Capture Recapture to Estimate Criminal Populations

2014
Methodology is presented that allows to estimate the size of population from a single register, such as a police register of offenders. A capture-recapture variable is constructed from Dutch police records and is a count of the police contacts for a violation.

Capture-Recapture Methods in Epidemiological Studies

Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 1996
Abstract Medical researchers often are faced with the challenge of estimating the total number of cases in a population based on incomplete samples. Because of a lack of explicit methods for determining if all cases have been counted, indirect methods for estimating the abundance of disease have been developed.
