## Abstract We revisit the heterogeneous closed population multiple recapture problem, modeling individualβlevel heterogeneity using the Grade of Membership model (Woodbury et al., 1978). This strategy allows us to postulate the existence of homogeneous latent βidealβ or βpureβ classes within the p
ANDERSON and POSPAHALA (1870) investigated the estimation of wildlife population size using the belt or line transect sampling method and devised a correction for bias, thus leading to a class of estimators with desirable characteristics. This work was given a basic and rigorous mathematice framewor
