Dual-record system (DRS) (equivalently two sample Capture-recapture experiment) model with time and behavioral response variation, has attracted much attention specifically in the domain of Official Statistics and Epidemiology. The relevant model suffers from parameter identifiability problem and proper Bayesian methodologies could be helpful to overcome the situation. In this article, we have formulated the population size estimation problem in DRS as a missing data analysis under both the known and unknown directional nature of underlying behavioral response effect. Two simple empirical Bayes approaches are proposed and investigated their performances for this complex model along with a fully Bayes treatment. Extensive simulation studies are carried out to compare the performances of these competitive approaches and a real data example is also illustrated. Finally, some features of these methods and recommendations to implement them in practice are explored depending upon the availability of knowledge on the nature of behavioral response effect.

Motivated by various applications, we consider the problem of homogeneous human population size (N) estimation from Dual-record system (DRS) (equivalently, two-sample capture-recapture experiment). The likelihood estimate from the independent capture
-recapture model Mt is widely used in this context though appropriateness of the behavioral dependence model Mtb is unanimously acknowledged. Our primary aim is to investigate the use of several relevant pseudo-likelihood methods profiling N, explicitly for model Mtb. An adjustment over profile likelihood is proposed. Simulation studies are carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed method compared with Bayes estimate suggested for general capture-recapture experiment by Lee et al. (Statistica Sinica, 2003, vol. 13). We also analyse the effect of possible model mis-specification, due to the use of model Mt, in terms of efficiency and robustness. Finally two real life examples with different characteristics are presented for illustration of the methodologies discussed.
Population size estimation based on capture-recapture experiment under triple record system is an interesting problem in various fields including epidemiology, population studies, etc. In many real life scenarios, there exists inherent dependency bet
ween capture and recapture attempts. We propose a novel model that successfully incorporates the possible dependency and the associated parameters possess nice interpretations. We provide estimation methodology for the population size and the associated model parameters based on maximum likelihood method. The proposed model is applied to analyze real data sets from public health and census coverage evaluation study. The performance of the proposed estimate is evaluated through extensive simulation study and the results are compared with the existing competitors. The results exhibit superiority of the proposed model over the existing competitors both in real data analysis and simulation study.
Efficient estimation of population size from dependent dual-record system (DRS) remains a statistical challenge in capture-recapture type experiment. Owing to the nonidentifiability of the suitable Time-Behavioral Response Variation model (denoted as
$M_{tb}$) under DRS, few methods are developed in Bayesian paradigm based on informative priors. Our contribution in this article is in developing integrated likelihood function from model $M_{tb}$ based on a novel approach developed by Severini (2007, Biometrika). Suitable weight function on nuisance parameter is derived under the assumption of availability of knowledge on the direction of behavioral dependency. Such pseudo-likelihood function is constructed so that the resulting estimator possess some desirable properties including invariance and negligible prior (or weight) sensitiveness. Extensive simulations explore the better performance of our proposed method in most of the situations than the existing Bayesian methods. Moreover, being a non-Bayesian estimator, it simply avoids heavy computational effort and time. Finally, illustration based on two real life data sets on epidemiology and economic census are presented.
For Dual-record system, in the context of human population, the popular Chandrasekar-Deming model incorporates only the time variation effect on capture probabilities. How-ever, in practice population may undergo behavioral change after being capture
d first time. In this paper we focus on the Dual-record system model (equivalent to capture- recapture model with two sampling occasions) with both the time as well as behavioral response variation. The relevant model suffers from identifiability problem. Two approaches are proposed from which approximate Bayes estimates can be obtained using very simple Gibbs sampling strategies. We explore the features of our two proposed methods and their usages depending on the availability (or non-availability) of the information on the nature of behavioral response effect. Extensive simulation studies are carried out to evaluate their performances and compare with few available approaches. Finally, a real data application is provided to the model and the methods.
Population size estimation based on two sample capture-recapture type experiment is an interesting problem in various fields including epidemiology, pubic health, population studies, etc. The Lincoln-Petersen estimate is popularly used under the assu
mption that capture and recapture status of each individual is independent. However, in many real life scenarios, there is an inherent dependency between capture and recapture attempts which is not well-studied in the literature of the dual system or two sample capture-recapture method. In this article, we propose a novel model that successfully incorporates the possible causal dependency and provide corresponding estimation methodologies for the associated model parameters based on post-stratified two sample capture-recapture data. The superiority of the performance of the proposed model over the existing competitors is established through an extensive simulation study. The method is illustrated through analysis of some real data sets.
