The Bishop's Method (in statistics)

The Bishop's Method is a statistical technique used to estimate the population size of a group by combining different sources of data. It involves adjusting initial estimates based on additional information and assumptions about how individuals are counted. This method helps improve accuracy by considering factors like duplicate counts or missed individuals. In simpler terms, it’s a way to refine our understanding of how many people or items exist in a certain population by using a thoughtful approach to analyze and reconcile varying data points.
