capwire

capwire uses capture-recapture models which allow for sampling individuals multiple times per session to estimate population size from non-invasive samples. These models were originally implemented in the Java program Capwire (Miller et al. 2005)The models all assume that individuals can be identified with certainty (usually with, but not limited to) genetic data.The package also includes functions to compare models, get confidence intervals using a parametric bootstrap and simulate data under a variety of conditions.

Fits models from Miller et al. 2005 to estimate population
sizes from natural populations. Several models are implemented.
Package also includes functions to perform a likelihood ratio
test to choose between models, perform parametric bootstrapping
to obtain confidence intervals and multiple functions to
simulate data.
