Table 4. Summary estimates of 
when the true population size N = 500 and J = 128 traps, under each of the three trap arrangements: regular, clustered, and sequential, where mean, standard deviation (SD), range, root mean squared error (RMSE), and mean normalized bias (MNB) are given for each scenario (p x σ x configuration).
