A simulation study of the effect of target motion on sighting estimates of minke whale population density
Line transect methods used to estimate population density assume stationarity of targets. Violation of this assumption leads to overestimation of the true density. A simulation study based on a hazard-rate model is used to assess the resulting bias. The model is calibrated to generate sighting data...
