Abundance estimation in simulated scenarios, using the hierarchical and the Fisher-Ford models.

The total number of iterations was 12000 for each of 2 Markov chains. The first 3000 iterations are discarded as burn-in interval. The area of attraction is of size 5 (b5) and also 8 (b8), probability p = 0.5. The number of traps is J = 64. For the Fisher—Ford estimates a number of Rs = 1000 re-sampling was used and the daily survival probability was ϕ = 0.8, same value used in the simulations. For the case (200, 300) with a small attraction area the sample size (2) is very small and no Fisher—Ford estimates are reported. The notation (m,u) refers to the quantity (number of captures, capture ratios) for marked and unmarked mosquitoes, respectively.
