Parameter Estimation of the Gompertz Population
Biometrical Journal, 1997AbstractThe Gompertz distribution has been used to model human mortality and fit actuarial tables. In the recent years, this distribution has been studied by some authors. The MLE estimates for the parameters of the Gompertz distribution were disucssed by GARG, RAO and REDMOND (1970). The purpose of this paper is to develop an exact confidence interval

Estimating the total of a continous population
Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 1986A continuous population on the real line may be considered as the realization y(t) of a random process Y(t) with a trend function and a covariance function. On the basis of sample values \(y(t_ 1),...,y(t_ n)\) it is natural to choose the estimator \(\hat T\) of the toal \(T=\int^{a}_{0}y(t)dt\) so that \(E[(\hat T-T)^ 2]\) is minimized.

An Estimator for the Size of an Animal Population
Biometrika, 1973SUMMARY A method of estimating animal populations which is popular among zoologists is to take the total of the ages of animals that die during a given year as an estimator of population size. In this note the bias and variance of the estimator are investigated for a stationary model, and for one based on a branching process.
