The estimates are derived by a method of moments for martingales. An estimate and associated standard error of the population size are derived for a homogeneous population when the capture rates are permitted to depend on time in an unspecified manner. Corresponding results are obtained when the capture rates vary among individuals as well. Explicit expressions are given for these estimates and standard errors which involve only simple computation.Read More
