Abstract:
Cases of measles reported separately by doctors, hospitals, laboratories, and others are treated as separate captures and releases of the population of children aged up to 10 years who have been infected by measles in a recent epidemic. Loglinear models are used to assess the adequacy of fit of various models for capture-recapture and the size of the epidemic in different age groups is estimated.
