Abstract

We provide a closed form likelihood expression for multi-state capture–recapture–recovery data when the state of an individual may be only partially observed. The corresponding sufficient statistics are presented in addition to a matrix formulation which facilitates an efficient calculation of the likelihood. This likelihood framework provides a consistent and unified framework with many standard models applied to capture–recapture–recovery data as special cases.
