Abstract
This paper considers the problem of finding robust estimators of population size in closed K-sample capture-recapture experimerts.Particular attention is paid to models where heterogeneity of capture probabilities is allowed. First a general estimation procedure is given which does not depend on assuming anything about the form of the distribution of capture probabilities. This is followed by a detailed discussion of the usefulness of the generalized jackknife technique to reduce bias. Numerical comparisons of the bias and variance of various estimators are given. Finally a general discussion is given with several recommendations on estimators to be used in practice. Key words: Capture-recapture sampling; Population size estimation; Heterogeneity;
