摘要: In recent years, survival analysis of radio-tagged animals has developed using methods based on the Kaplan-Meier method used in medical and engineering applications (Pollock et al. , 1989a,b). An important assumption this approach is that all tagged with a functioning radio can be relocated at each sampling time probability 1. This may not always reasonable practice. paper, we show how general capture-recapture model derived which allows for some (less than one) to relocated. simply Jolly-Seber because it possible relocate both dead live animals, unlike when traditional tagging used. The also viewed as generalization procedure, thus linking approaches estimation. We present maximum likelihood estimators discuss testing between submodels. assumptions their validity exa...
