Multiple-systems estimation is commonly used to correct censuses and to estimate the size of wildlife populations. Benetech’s® Human Rights Data Analysis Group has used this method to estimate total deaths due to political violence in Guatemala (on behalf of the Commission for Historical Clarification), in Kosovo (as part of expert testimony presented in the trial of Slobodan Milošević) and in Perú (on behalf of the Commission for Truth and Reconciliation).
