The goal of drpop is to provide users doubly robust and efficient estimates of population size and the confidence intervals for a capture-recapture problem.
You can install the released version of drpop from CRAN with:
install.packages("drpop")
And the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
::install_github("mqnjqrid/drpop") devtools
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
library(drpop)
#> Registered S3 methods overwritten by 'tibble':
#> method from
#> format.tbl pillar
#> print.tbl pillar
