DESCRIPTION:To accommodate seasonal effects that change from year to year 
 into models for the size of an open population we consider a time-varying 
 coefficient model. We fit this model to a capture-recapture data set colle
 cted on the little penguin in south-eastern Australia over a 25\nyear peri
 od\, using Jolly-Seber type estimators and nonparametric P-spline techniqu
 es. The time-varying coefficient model identified strong changes in the se
 asonal pattern across the years which we further\nexamine using functional
  data analysis techniques.\n\n(Joint work with Jakub Stoklosa of The Unive
