pcapture {bayess} | R Documentation |
This function computes the posterior expectation of the population size for a multiple stage capture-recapture experiment (Chapter 5) under a uniform prior on the range (0,400).
pcapture(T, nplus, nc)
T |
number of experiments |
nplus |
total number of captured animals |
nc |
total number of captures |
This analysis is based on the restrictive assumption that all dippers captured in the second year were already present in the population during the first year.
numerical value of the posterior expectation
sum((1:400)*pcapture(2,70,81))
