Table 2. Mean estimated population size $\overline{\mathit{m}}$ for 50 trials and the respective confidence intervals (CIs) under two alternative configurations of R and population size m.

	m	$\overline{m}$	CI (95%)
R = 2.1	1,000	1,051	(990, 1,112)
	10,000	10,020	(9,380, 10,660)
R = 1.1	1,000	1,007	(976, 1,038)
	10,000	10,510	(10,003, 11,017)

Death rate was fixed to δ = 0.52; results are for synthetic data.
