Sigma = parameter that determines the decline of detection frequency of an individual with increasing distance of its activity center from the half-unit center (“the trap”) beta0 = baseline frequency of detections. Indices 1 and 2 denote females and males, respectively. Probmale = sex ratio in a wider statistical population of capercaillies, from which the SZ population can be regarded as a random sample. N = total population size of capercaillies, i.e., the number of capercaillies that were exposed to sampling within the surveyed units. Nmales and Nfemales = estimated number of males and females among N. SR = sex ratio in N.
