Statistical Inference from Capture Data on Closed Animal Populations

A monograph on statistical inference from capture data on closed animal populations. Both papers borrow capture-recapture: the overlap between independent monitors estimates hidden incidence, as mark-recapture estimates animals never seen. It is one of five instruments that survive subjects that model their observers and bounds what monitors miss in the 2030 census; constant capture probability is level 0 of Table 2.
