- Abstract
The aim of this study is to assess the performance of Lincoln - Petersen, Chapman and Bailey two source Capture Recapture methods. Material and Methods: The Capture Recapture methods were applied with simulation studies on data obtained from survey to estimate the population size of families with at least one disabled individual in Turkey with small, medium and large samples, and to compare the performance of these estimators with different sample sizes with Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) measure. Results: From the comparison part of the mentioned Capture Recapture methods, the Lincoln - Petersen method provides more reliable results than Chapman and Bailey methods in small sample size one and two, but undefined when there were no element recaptured in sample two. Chapman and Bailey methods provides better estimates than Lincoln - Petersen method when dealing with big sample one and small sample two. When working with big samples are all the three estimators mentioned in this study provides better estimates with least RMSE. Conclusion: At the conclusion part of this study we remark that, when dealing with small samples I and II Lincoln - Petersen should be considered but when no element recaptured in the second sample researchers should consider Chapman and Bailey methods as alternative. When dealing with big size sample I and small size sample II Chapman and Bailey methods should be considered and when both samples are large all the methods discuss in this study can be considered.
