Abstract | Testing and confidence interval construction for a parameter are achieved by constructing a
pivotal. In this paper we study construction of approximate pivotals from recapture models where
capture probabilities possibly vary from occasion to occasion. We compare the asymptotic standard
normality of various pivotals including analogues of the classical maximum likelihood/Wald, score
and likelihood ratio statistics. Some bias adjustments are developed and indicate that the score
pivotal has smaller bias than the pivotal of Chao (1989). The score and likelihood ratio pivotals
both provide intervals with accurate two-sided coverage, but one-sided coverage accuracy varies.
Chao's pivotal appears to be slightly conservative but is the simplest to compute. Classical pivotals
based directly on the estimator are inadequate. |
