To estimate the total size of a closed population, a multiple capture-recapture sampling design can be used. This sampling design has been used traditionally to estimate the size of wildlife populations and is becoming more widely used to estimate the size of hard-to-count human populations. This paper presents Bayesian methods for obtaining point and interval estimates from data gathered from capture-recapture surveys. A numerical example involving the estimation of the size of a fish population is given to illustrate the methods.
为了估计封闭种群的总规模,可以使用多重捕获-再捕获抽样设计。这种抽样设计传统上用于估计野生动物种群的规模,并且越来越广泛地用于估计难以计数的人类种群的规模。本文介绍了从捕获-再捕获调查收集的数据中获取点估计和区间估计的贝叶斯方法。给出了一个涉及鱼类种群规模估计的数值示例来说明这些方法。
