Abstract
Recently, capture-recapture studies have been used and researchers tend to use these studies in the health field. Therefore, we discussed the basic concepts of these studies. First, we described capture-recapture studies. Then, the important assumptions and calculations were presented according to the close population assumption. Statistical formulas were presented for two-capture methods and dependency between the two lists was discussed. Then, we addressed more than two capture methods.
