We discuss the analysis of mark-recapture data when the aim is to quantify density dependence between survival rate and abundance. We describe an analysis for a random effects model that includes a linear relationship between abundance and survival using an errors-in-variables regression...

The process of model averaging has become increasingly popular as a method for performing inference in the presence of model uncertainty. In the frequentist setting, a model-averaged estimate of a parameter is calculated as the weighted sum of single-model estimates, often using weights derived...
