James E. Johndrow developed this code for performing Bayesian model averaging in capture-recapture studies. The package includes functions to stratify records, check strata for suitable overlap, and plot estimated population sizes. It is hosted on the Papers with Code platform.
Use Cases
- Estimate total population size based on stratified capture-recapture data.
- Compare different Bayesian models for capture-recapture using model averaging.
- Visualize population size estimates and model uncertainty with provided plotting functions.
Strengths
- Implements Bayesian model averaging, a method for combining multiple statistical models.
- Includes specific functions for data stratification and overlap checking, as described.
- Provides visualization tools for estimated population size.
Limitations
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
