FLEXIBLE BEHAVIORAL CAPTURE-RECAPTURE MODELLING
Abstract: We develop some new strategies for building and fitting new flexible classes of para- metric capture-recapture models for closed populations which can be used to address a better understanding of behavioural patterns. We first rely on previous approaches based on a conditional probability parameterization and review how to regard a large subset of standard capture-recapture models as a suitable partitioning in equivalence classes of the full set of conditional probability parameters. We then propose a regression approach combined with the use of new suitable quan- tifications of the conditioning binary partial capture histories as a device for enlarging the scope of flexible behavioural models and also exploring the range of all possible partitions. We show how one can easily find unconditional MLE of such models within a generalized linear model framework. We illustrate the potential of our approach with the analysis of some known datasets and a simulation study.
Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (http://www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.
