In repeated measures studies how observations change over time is often of prime interest. Modelling this time effect in the context of discrimination, is the objective of this article. We study the problem of classification with multiple q-variate observations with time effect on each individual. The covariance matrices as well as mean vectors are mordelled respectively to accommodate the correlation between the successive repeated measures and to describe the time effects. Computation schemes for maximum likelihood estimation of required population parameters are provided.

Fina, M., Casellas, J. and Piedrafita, J. 2011. Short Communication: Estimating abundance, survival and age structure of the Alberes cattle using recapture techniques. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 91: 343–347. The Alberes breed is an endangered bovine breed with an unknown population size. In this study, we estimated a total of 447.9 (435.5 to 456.6) individuals using capture-recapture methods. Overall survival and recapture estimates were 0.85±0.01 and 0.94±0.01, respectively, leading to an average longevity of 5.64 yr and with the highest death rate concentrated in the first 3 yr of life (38.94%). For breeding cows, the average length of the productive life was 8.35 yr. The current population of this local breed is too small to prevent future losses of genetic variability, and a conservation program is essential to ensure the long-term viability of the breed.

AbstractWe consider the problem of estimating the rate of defects (mean number of defects per item), given the counts of defects detected by two independent imperfect inspectors on one sample of items. In contrast with the setting for the well-known method of Capture–Recapture, we do not have information regarding the number of defects jointly detected by both inspectors. We solve this problem by constructing two types of estimators—a simple moment-type estimator, and a complicated maximum-likelihood (ML) estimator. The performance of these estimators is studied analytically and by means of simulations. It is shown that the ML estimator is superior to the moment-type estimator. A systematic comparison with the Capture–Recapture method is also made.
