Abstract:
The Petersen estimator estimator of abundance can be biased when the assumption of homogeneous capture probability or homogeneous recapture probability is violated. Often this heterogeneity is related to the time or place of capture or recapture, and if these can be stratified, the stratified Petersen estimator reduces the bias caused by this heterogeneity. In some experiments, not all the recovered tagged animals can be examined, and only a subsample has its stratum of release and recovery determined. We develop methods for this modified experiment and apply them to estimate the number of salmon returning to spawn in a river in British Columbia, Canada.

Cluster Sampling Method
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...
