thresh {bayess}

Bound for the accept-reject algorithm in Chapter 5

Description

This function is used in ardipper to determine the bound for the accept-reject algorithm simulating the non-standard conditional distribution of r_1.

Usage

thresh(k, n1, c2, c3, r2, q1)

Arguments

k

current proposal for the number of individuals vanishing between the first and second experiments

n1

first capture population size

c2

number of individuals recaptured during the second experiment

c3

number of individuals recaptured during the third experiment

r2

number of individuals vanishing between the second and third experiments

q1

probability of disappearing from the population

Details

This upper bound is equal to

\frac{{n_1-c_2 \choose k} {n_1-k \choose c_3+r_2}}{{\bar r\choose k}}

Value

numerical value of the upper bound, to be compared with the uniform random draw
