Would anyone from the numerical #ecology world like to weigh in? This is equivalent to mark-recapture with unequal capture probabilities, my understanding is it's a hard problem (eg https://t.co/986h3Y7Wc2 )
@thebasepoint but according to this https://t.co/R5CIc7NhRh different mixture models with the same goodness-of-fit can give dramatically different estimates of the total population size. It seems like a hard problem and might be unidentifiable unless you c
@oaggimenez @arxiv_org @R_nimble @twitthair1 @BayesRuth @Todd_W_Arnold Interesting! My first thought is how it relates to different mixture distributions fitting the data equally well, but yielding different abundance estimates. Not sure how to think about
