| Abstract: | We derive estimates of the minimum capture proportion required to obtain a reliable estimate of the population size for several continuous and discrete-time capture-recapture models. The models considered are M(0), M(t), M(b), M(h), M(ht), and M(tb) in the notation of Otis et al., (1978, Wildlife Monograph62, 1-135). Numerical results with simulation studies are given, and two real examples for the model M(h) are also considered. Potential applications of these results are suggested. |
