Format

A four lists data with 15 variables.

Details

An epidemiological data with four distinct types of sources, which contains: diabetic clinic and/or family physician visits (1754 cases); hospital discharges (452 cases); prescriptions (1135 cases), and purchases of regent strips and insulin syringes (173 cases). A total of 2069 cases were identified.

Note1: Refer to Seber(1982,pages 59 and 60) for Petersen estimator
       and Chapman estimators as well as s.e formula.
Note2: A log-transformation is used is used to obtain the confidence
       interval so that the lower limit is always greater than the
       number of ascertained. Refer to Chao(1987,Biometrics,43,783-791)
       for the construction of the confidence interval.

Definitions for the sample coverage approach:
M: number of individuals ascertained in at least one list.
D: the average of the number of invididuals listed in the combination 
   of any two lists omitting the other one.
C^: sample coverage estimate, see Equation (14) of Chao and Tsay(1998).
    est: population size estimate.
se: estimated standard error of the population size estimation based on
    bootstrap replications. 
cil: 95% confidence interval lower limit(using a log-transformation).   
ciu: 95% confidence interval upper limit(using a log-transformation).
Nhat: Population size estimate for sufficiently high sample coverage 
      cases, see Equation (20) of Chao and Tsay (1998).
Nhat-1: One-step population size estimate for low sample coverage cases;
        see Equation (2.21) of Chao et al. (1996). This estimator is 
        suggested for use when the estimated se of Nhat is relatively large.
u1,u2,u3: estimated mean probabilities depending on the estimate of N.
r12,r13,r23 etc.: estimated coefficient of covariation(CCV) depending on the 
                  estimate of N.
