ordercaptures

<p>Data matrix with \(t\) columns. The \(t\) columns, each corresponding to a particular list,
are 0s and 1s defining the capture histories observed. Where a capture history is not explicitly listed,
it is assumed that it has observed count zero.</p>

zmat

<p>Given a matrix with capture histories only, the routine orders the capture histories first by the number of
1s in the capture history and then lexicographically by columns.</p>

Implements the routines and algorithms developed and analysed in "Multiple Systems Estimation for Sparse Capture Data: Inferential Challenges when there are Non-Overlapping Lists" Chan, L, Silverman, B. W., Vincent, K (2019) <arXiv:1902.05156>. This package explicitly handles situations where there are pairs of lists which have no observed individuals in common.  It deals correctly with parameters whose estimated values can be considered as being negative infinity.  It also addresses other possible issues of non-existence and non-identifiability of maximum likelihood estimates.
