WLF 625 - Lecture 2Binomial Theory Hopefully, in a class interested in parameters such as survival probability (live or die) and detection probability (captured or not captured) you can appreciate the relevance of binomial theory. Like a coin toss (head or tail), the estimators used in the analysis of vertebrate population dynamics are rooted in binomial theory. Today, we will cover the principles of binomial theory leading to likelihood theory and maximum likelihood estimation. Next week, we will examine the theory of a slightly more complex concept -- multinomial theory. To understand binom
