comment Estimating the number of birds in a specific area
A good start could be googling "linear transect", "point transect" and "capture-recapture". This book is an excellent reference: amazon.com/…

comment Which quantile type (quantile calculation method) is best for small samples?
I don't know the answer to this question, but simulation might give you at least an idea of which method is the "best" (whatever you mean by best).

comment Book on Repeated Measure Analysis
Hi Hanna, my suggestion is Applied Longitudinal Analysis by Garrett Fitzmaurice, Nan Laird & James Ware hsph.harvard.edu/fitzmaur/ala - it's a good introductory book with tons of worked examples.

comment Profile likelihood confidence intervals
I've read Venzon's paper and I'll see if I can implement his method in Stata, because this is exactly what I need (any suggestions are more than welcome). Interestingly, the author of the pllf Stata command (P. Royston) writes in the paper presenting his command that "Venzon and Moolgavkar (1988) inspired this article [...]" (The Stata Journal, 7, Number 3, pp. 376–387).

comment Profile likelihood confidence intervals
Thank you for your answer, @Macallan. I've found some additional information in the SAS/IML User's Guide: support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/imlug/65547/HTML/default/… and in the SAS/STAT User's Guide: support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/statug/63033/HTML/default/… - In addition, the paper "Efficient Profile-Likelihood Confidence Intervals for Capture–Recapture Models" by O.Gimenez et al. contains interesting information.

comment How to deal with extreme but "real" data, classify as outliers or no?
No, it's not necessary for your independent variables to be normally distributed.

Why do you want to normalize this variable?

comment Cox proportional hazard model fit to complex survey data
I'm not sure it makes sense to calculate the AIC index when analysing survey data: stata.com/support/faqs/statistics/likelihood-ratio-test

comment Model stability in cross-validation of regression models
When you say "multiple cross-validation", do you mean that you run $m$ times a $k$-fold cross-validation?

comment In Stata, why do the stcox CI differ when using margins?
+1 for "I have always been wary of using -margins- with ratio outcomes". I prefer to use the lincom command after a (for example) logistic or stcox model.
