hypergeometric & population estimates
...cted
an aerial survey and saw 70 uncollared caribou and 8 of 11 collared
caribou. We want to estimate the number of caribou in this population with
95% confidence limits. Gary White uses the hypergeometric distribution and
determines the population estimates using maximum likelihood and 95%CL as
-2LogLikelihoods. Below, I determined the population estimate using
dhyper(x,m,n,k) and maximizing the density value as a function of n, but do
not know how I should calculate MLE with this distribution.
x <- 8 # number resighted caribou (white balls drawn)
m <-11 # number collared caribou...
