Abstract:

Dual (and multiple) system estimation, also known as capture-recapture, 
has become widely used in official statistics for estimating the size of 
partly observed populations, with applications from population censuses 
to linked administrative data. There are situations in which sources can 
be linked, allowing estimation through a loglinear modelling procedure, 
but where some variables appear in only one source. This additional 
missingness can be handled using the EM algorithm, and we illustrate its 
application. Sometimes the data to be linked contain what should be the 
same variable, but measured in different ways, and we can use the same 
approach to analyse and adjust the data to the preferred measure. In 
more complex situations with many inputs it is possible to produce a 
consistent estimate from the disparate definitions, and we illustrate 
this with recent work on estimating the size of the Māori population in 
New Zealand.
