Abstract
It has been demonstrated in the literature that local polynomial models may be used to estimate the size of an open population using capture-recapture data. However, very little is known about their properties. Here we develop a setting in which the properties of nonparametric estimators of the size of an open population using capture-recapture data can be examined and establish conditions under which expressions for the bias and variance may be determined.
