On the Turing estimator in capture-recapture count data under the geometric distribution (Q2422115)

This paper talks about estimation in Capture-Recapture (CR) count data. The most precise description of CR analysis is ``CR analyses are based on the repeated sampling from a population and, consequently, on the use of recapture information to infer the number of uncaptured units'' which is given by the authors. The paper proposes a Turing-type estimator under the geometric distribution. The authors argue that the geometric distribution is better suited for count distributions in the CR context as it can deal with ordinary forms of heterogeneity. They also derive its asymptotic variance, to have a measure of precision available.
