Goodness-of-Fit Diagnostics for Capture-Recapture Models

This project aims to develop novel goodness-of-fit diagnostic tools for capture-recapture models, which are widely employed to estimate unknown population sizes in various fields, including wildlife biology and sociology. While several numerical goodness-of-fit tests exist for assessing the reliability of these models, the development of visual diagnostic tools remains under-explored. Building upon existing framework established by Stoklosa et al. and incorporating ideas from Warton et al., this project will implement Dunn-Smyth residuals and evaluate their effectiveness through both real and simulated data.
