I propose a modification of the Jolly-Seber model, the two-source Jolly-Seber (TSJS)model, to estimate population size by combining two sources of capture-recapture data of thesame population where there might be an unknown overlap between twodatasets. This is the case with recent surveys of...

This is the first regional study of artisanal fisheries in Pacific Island countries and territories that demonstrated that the future of the region's artisanal fishery sector and the livelihood of coastal communities will be highly dependent on alternative subsistence and income sources, which...

The zero-inflated Poisson regression (ZIP) in many situations is appropriate for analyzing multilevel correlated count data with excess zeros. In this paper, a score test for assessing ZIP regression against Poisson regression in multilevel count data with excess zeros is developed. The sampling...

Count data with excess zeros often occurs in areas such as public health, epidemiology, psychology, sociology, engineering, and agriculture. Zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) regression and zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) regression are useful for modeling such data, but because of hierarchical...
