This study introduces two new methods, traditional quasi-likelihood (TQL) and conditional quasi-likelihood (CQL), for estimating population size in removal experiments. These approaches improve accuracy, particularly with overdispersed data.

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Population Dynamics
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Accurate population size estimation is crucial for ecological management and conservation.
  • Removal experiments are common but can be subject to statistical challenges like overdispersion.
  • Existing methods for population estimation in removal experiments may lack robustness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate novel statistical approaches for population size estimation.
  • To address limitations of existing methods, especially in scenarios with dependent observations and overdispersion.
  • To propose the traditional quasi-likelihood (TQL) and conditional quasi-likelihood (CQL) estimating functions.

Main Methods:

  • Developed TQL approach for dependent observations in removal experiments.

  • Developed CQL approach utilizing conditional mean and variance of catch.
  • Derived asymptotic covariance for estimates and analyzed the relationship between TQL and CQL.

    • Main Results:

    • Simulation studies demonstrated the superior performance of TQL and CQL methods.
    • Application to smallmouth bass catch data confirmed improved accuracy.
    • The proposed methods showed particular effectiveness in the presence of overdispersion.

    Conclusions:

    • The TQL and CQL estimating functions offer improved population size estimation in removal experiments.
    • These methods provide a more robust alternative, especially when dealing with overdispersed catch data.
    • The findings have implications for ecological monitoring and fisheries management.
