- Section 6.4 (Mark-recapture models)
- Chapter 7
- Sections 10.1-10.4, and 10.6. (do not need to know how to implement in SAS or ADMB,
but do need to know how to formulate the joint density f(y,u))
- Lemmas 12.1 and 12.2 (need to be able to provide key arguments in the proofs)
- Section 13.5.1 (Jensen's inequality)
