Capture-recapture methods have recently become popular in the social and medical sciences to estimate the size of elusive populations such as illicit drug users or people with a drinking problem. This book brings together important developments which allow the application of these methods with contributions from more than 40 researchers.
Capture-recapture methods have been used in biology and ecology for more than 100 years. However, it is only recently that these methods have become popular in the social and medical sciences to estimate the size of elusive populations such as illegal immigrants, illicit drug users, or people with a drinking problem. Capture-Recapture Methods for the Social and Medical Sciences brings together important developments which allow the application of these methods. It has contributions from more than 40 researchers, and is divided into eight parts, including topics such as ratio regression models, capture-recapture meta-analysis, extensions of single and multiple source models, latent variable models and Bayesian approaches.

The book is suitable for everyone who is interested in applying capture-recapture methods in the social and medical sciences. Furthermore, it is also of interest to those working with capture-recapture methods in biology and ecology, as there are some important developments covered in the book that also apply to these classical application areas.

Dankmar Böhning is Professor of Medical Statistics and Director of the Southampton Statistical Sciences Research Institute at the University of Southampton. His interests are in capture-recapture modelling, meta-analysis and research synthesis as well as mixed modelling. John Bunge is Professor of Statistics in the Department of Statistical Science of Cornell University. His interests are capture-recapture modelling, microbiome statistics, and nonclassical probability distribution theory. Peter. G.M. van der Heijden is Professor of Social Statistics at the University of Utrecht and at the University of Southampton. His interests are capture-recapture modelling for the Social Sciences and Official Statistics.
