Abstract:

The size of a closed population is to be estimated using data from a multiple recapture study in either continuous or discrete time. Here the use of maximum likelihood raises computational problems. However, a family of martingale estimating functions related to the score function is shown to produce convenient simple estimators with good asymptotic efficiency relative to the maximum likelihood estimator.
