checkthetasubset: Check a subset of the parameter set theta
In SparseMSE: 'Multiple Systems Estimation for Sparse Capture Data'

This routine leaves out a particular set of parameters corresponding to the two-list effects from the parameter set theta. For the resulting model, it constructs the linear programming problem to check whether the extended maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters exists. It is called internally by checkallmodels.

1	checkthetasubset(zset, amat, tvec, nlists)

`zset`	set of indices that is not included, numbered among the two-list effects only
`amat`	a design matrix
`tvec`	vector of sufficient statistics
`nlists`	number of lists in the original capture-recapture matrix

If the return result is TRUE, the linear program shows that the extended maximum likelihood estimate does not exist. If the return result is FALSE, the estimate exists.
