I have a question about an error I'm getting in MARK when I try to run the median c-hat procedure.

I have a closed capture model in which I've fixed the recapture parameter to zero (i.e., removal model). Capture (p) and abundance (N) are constant, the model deviance is 4.75. MARK sets the upper bound to 4.8, and when I click "OK", a window pops up with the following text:

M6202: MATH
- log: SING error
Image PC Routine Line Source
MARK.EXE 006A2AB9 Unknown Unknown Unknown

And so on and so forth...there are about 12 lines of this.

Any clues as to why this is? Please help, thanks.

Not a problem with MARK -- the problem is there are no generally accepted GOF tests for closed abundance estimation. This is noted in the closed abundance chapter of the MARK book (chapter 14 -- section 14.7).
