Single source capture-recapture models

estimatePopsize first fits appropriate (v)glm model and then estimates full (observed and unobserved) population size. In this types of models it is assumed that the response vector (i.e. the dependent variable) corresponds to the number of times a given unit was observed in the source. Population size is then usually estimated by Horvitz-Thompson type estimator:

N = _k=1^NI_kP(Y_k>0) = _k=1^N_obs11-P(Y_k=0)

where I_k=I_Y_k > 0 are indicator variables, with value 1 if kth unit was observed at least once and 0 otherwise.

Details

The generalized linear model is characterized by equation =X where X is the (lm) model matrix. The vector generalized linear model is similarly characterized by equations _k=X_k_k where X_k is a (lm) model matrix constructed from appropriate formula (specified in controlModel parameter).

The is then a vector constructed as:

=pmatrix _1
_2

_p pmatrix^T

and in cases of models in our package the (vlm) model matrix is constructed as a block matrix:

X_vlm= pmatrix X_1 & 0 & &0
0 & X_2 & &0
& & &
0 & 0 & &X_p pmatrix

this differs from convention in VGAM package (if we only consider our special cases of vglm models) but this is just a convention and does not affect the model, this convention is taken because it makes fitting with IRLS (explanation of algorithm in estimatePopsizeFit()) algorithm easier. (If constraints matrixes in vglm match the ones we implicitly use the vglm model matrix differs with respect to order of kronecker multiplication of X and constraints.) In this package we use observed likelihood to fit regression models.

As mentioned above usually the population size estimation is done via: N = _k=1^NI_kP(Y_k>0) = _k=1^N_obs11-P(Y_k=0)

where I_k=I_Y_k > 0 are indicator variables, with value 1 if kth unit was observed at least once and 0 otherwise. The P(Y_k>0) are estimated by maximum likelihood.

The following assumptions are usually present when using the method of estimation described above:

The specified regression model is correct. This entails linear relationship between independent variables and dependent ones and dependent variable being generated by appropriate distribution.
No unobserved heterogeneity. If this assumption is broken there are some possible (admittedly imperfect) workarounds see details in singleRmodels().
The population size is constant in relevant time frame.
Depending on confidence interval construction (asymptotic) normality of N statistic is assumed.

There are two ways of estimating variance of estimate N, the first being "analytic" usually done by application of law of total variance to N:

var(N)=E(var (N|I_1,...,I_n))+ var(E(N|I_1,...,I_n))

and then by method to N|I_1,... I_N:

E(var (N|I_1,...,I_n))= .((N|I_1,...,I_N))^T cov() ((N|I_1,...,I_N)) |_=

and the var(E(N|I_1,...,I_n)) term may be derived analytically (if we assume independence of observations) since N|I_1,...,I_n is just a constant.

In general this gives us: aligned var(E(N|I_1,...,I_n))&= var(_k=1^NI_kP(Y_k>0))
&=_k=1^Nvar(I_kP(Y_k>0))
&=_k=1^N1P(Y_k>0)^2var(I_k)
&=_k=1^N1P(Y_k>0)^2P(Y_k>0)(1-P(Y_k>0))
&=_k=1^N1P(Y_k>0)(1-P(Y_k>0))
&_k=1^NI_kP(Y_k>0)^2(1-P(Y_k>0))
&=_k=1^N_obs1-P(Y_k>0)P(Y_k>0)^2 aligned

Where the approximation on 6th line appears because in 5th line we sum over all units, that includes unobserved units, since I_k are independent and I_k b(P(Y_k>0)) the 6th line is an unbiased estimator of the 5th line.

The other method for estimating variance is "bootstrap", but since N_obs=_k=1^NI_k is also a random variable bootstrap will not be as simple as just drawing N_obs units from data with replacement and just computing N.

Method described above is referred to in literature as "nonparametric" bootstrap (see controlPopVar()), due to ignoring variability in observed sample size it is likely to underestimate variance.

A more sophisticated bootstrap procedure may be described as follows:

Compute the probability distribution as: f_0N, f_1N, ..., f_yN where f_n denotes observed marginal frequency of units being observed exactly n times.
Draw N units from the distribution above (if N is not an integer than draw N + b(N-N)), where is the floor function.
Truncated units with y=0.
If there are covariates draw them from original data with replacement from uniform distribution. For example if unit drawn to new data has y=2 choose one of covariate vectors from original data that was associated with unit for which was observed 2 times.
Regress y_new on X_vlm new and obtain _new, with starting point to make it slightly faster, use them to compute N_new.
Repeat 2-5 unit there are at least B statistics are obtained.
Compute confidence intervals based on alpha and confType specified in controlPopVar().

To do step 1 in procedure above it is convenient to first draw binary vector of length N + b(N-N) with probability 1-f_0N, sum elements in that vector to determine the sample size and then draw sample of this size uniformly from the data.

This procedure is known in literature as "semiparametric" bootstrap it is necessary to assume that the have a correct estimate N in order to use this type of bootstrap.

Lastly there is "paramteric" bootstrap where we assume that the probabilistic model used to obtain N is correct the bootstrap procedure may then be described as:

Draw N + b(N-N) covariate information vectors with replacement from data according to probability distribution that is proportional to: N_k, where N_k is the contribution of kth unit i.e. 1P(Y_k>0).
Determine matrix using estimate .
Generate y (dependent variable) vector using and probability mass function associated with chosen model.
Truncated units with y=0 and construct y_new and X_vlm new.
Regress y_new on X_vlm new and obtain _new use them to compute N_new.
Repeat 1-5 unit there are at least B statistics are obtained.
Compute confidence intervals based on alpha and confType specified in controlPopVar()

It is also worth noting that in the "analytic" method estimatePopsize only uses "standard" covariance matrix estimation. It is possible that improper covariance matrix estimate is the only part of estimation that has its assumptions violated. In such cases post-hoc procedures are implemented in this package to address this issue.

Lastly confidence intervals for N are computed (in analytic case) either by assuming that it follows a normal distribution or that variable (N-N) follows a normal distribution.

These estimates may be found using either summary.singleRStaticCountData method or popSizeEst.singleRStaticCountData function. They're labelled as normal and logNormal respectively.
