Horvitz-Thompson estimator, capture-recapture, count inflation, zero-truncated PoissonAbstract
Let NO1PPbe the Horvitz-Thompson estimator for the population size with one-inflated positive Poisson distribution as the underlying distribution. We estimate the variance of this estimator using conditional expectation technique and provide some descriptions on the variance and its associated confidence interval based on simulation study and real data applications.
