Capture-Recapture Sampling Designs

摘要: Summary You may have read this entry hoping that wewould provide specific details about the number ofanimals should be marked or guidelines forspecific capture probabilities. When available, wehave referred to material offers some insightsabout these features of designs. However, given therange information we covered, reviewwas necessarily broad. Furthermore, recommenda-tions for design such as sample sizes requireknowledge desired level precision andpossibly logistical financial con-straints. Therefore, detailed advice is difficultto without additional information. We recom-mend you use review a coarse filterto decide which CR appropriate yourinterest (Figure 1). After making decision, westrongly urge investigate simulation modulesthat are components various analysis software (e.g.the programs RELEASE and MARK [67]). Simula-tions can allow specify range scenariosand explore ( see Sim-ulation Monte Carlo methods).Although parameter estimation primarygoal designs analysis, goal cannot
