Abundance estimation based on optimal estimating function with missing covariates in capture-recapture studies

Publication date: Available online 23 April 2019Source: Statistics & Probability LettersAuthor(s): Yang Liu, Xiuzhen Zhang, Mengke Li, Guanfu Liu, Lin ZhuAbstractFor the abundance parameter in capture-recapture studies with missing covariates, we propose an optimal-estimating-function-based estimator and develop a bootstrap procedure to construct the confidence interval. We illustrate our methods through simulations and the yellow-bellied prinia data.
