A double-sampling approach for maximum likelihood estimation for a Poisson rate parameter with visibility-biased data

We propose a Poisson-based model that uses both infallible data and fallible data subject to misclassification in the form of false negatives that yield visibility bias. We than derive maximum likelihood estimators for the Poisson rate parameter of interest and the misclassification parameter under...
