Capture-recapture methods, largely developed in ecology, are now commonly used in
epidemiology to adjust for incomplete registries and to estimate the size of difficult-to-reach …

Medical researchers often are faced with the challenge of estimating the total number of
cases in a population based on incomplete samples. Because of a lack of explicit methods …

Capture-recapture methods are used to estimate the incidence of a disease, using a multiple-
source registry. Usually, log-linear methods are used to estimate population size, assuming …

Background The application of capture-recapture methods in epidemiology has been
proposed as an alternative to field surveys. This methodology is Important for the future of …

Capture‐recapture methodology, originally developed for estimating demographic
parameters of animal populations, has been applied to human populations. This tutorial …

Factors contributing to the presence or absence of disease are not always easily determined
or accurately measured. Consequently epidemiologists are often faced with the task of …

In log-linear capture-recapture approaches to population size, the method of model
selection may have a major effect upon the estimate. In addition, the estimate may also be …

By matching several sources of information coming from the same population, the capture-
recapture method allows, if matches between sources can be identified, to estimate the …

To make policy on disease control and to put it into practice, public health officials need to
know the size and composition of target populations. Incidence and prevalence estimates …
