Estimating the size of closed populations using inverse multiple-recapture sampling.
A log-linear model for estimating the size of a closed population is defined for inverse multiple-recapture sampling with dependent samples. Efficient estimators of the log-linear model parameters and the population size are obtained by the method of minimum chi-square. A chi-square test of the general linear hypothesis regarding the log-linear model parameters is defined.
