Abstract

An improved integrated likelihood is formulated with suitably constructed weight function following Severini (2007) to estimate population size in Dual-record System. The resulting likelihood has several desirable properties. A comparative ordering is established among the relevant estimates. Empirical results demonstrating efficiency and usefulness are reported.
