Quantiles of the Estimate Distribution

These are summary statistics for the simulated capture recapture estimates. For example if you have the following table:

% of estimates within | % Accuracy | Absolute Accuracy --------------------- | ---------- | ------------------ 50.00 | 16.94 | 1694.13 60.00 | 18.04 | 1804.44 70.00 | 23.39 | 2338.55 80.00 | 25.95 | 2595.40 90.00 | 32.37 | 3237.40 95.00 | 35.09 | 3508.78

We can interpret this by reading left to right. There is a 90% chance that the CRC study's population size estimate will be within 32.37% of the true value. There is a 90% chance that the study's estimate will be within 3508.78 of the true value.
