In sigInt: Estimate the Parameters of a Discrete Crisis-Bargaining Game

##' Economic Sanctions Threats and Outcomes
##' 
##' Dataset on economic sanctions threats and outcomes from 1970-2000
##'
##' These data were compiled using the Threat and Imposition of Sanctions (TIES),
##' data project (Morgan, Bapat, and Kobayashi 2014),
##' with additional data from the Correlates of War (COW),
##' and Polity IV datasets.
##' See Crisman-Cox and Gibilisco (2018) for more information.
##' The unit of
##' observation is the dyad-decade, and the variables are: 
##' \describe{
##' \item{\code{gameID}}{A dyad-decade identifier composed of COW country codes and the decade observed.}
##' \item{\code{dyadID}}{A dyad identifier composed of COW country codes}
##' \item{\code{tenyear}}{The observed decade}
##' \item{\code{code1}}{Challenger's COW code}
##' \item{\code{code2}}{Target's COW code}
##' \item{\code{sq}}{The number of status quo observations in this dyad decade}
##' \item{\code{cd}}{The number of times that the game ends with Challenge-Concede (Outcome \eqn{CD}) }
##' \item{\code{sf}}{The number of times that the game ends with Challenge-Resist
##' -Stand Firm (Outcome \eqn{SF}) }
##' \item{\code{bd}}{The number of times that the game ends with Challenge-Resist-Back Down
##'  (Outcome \eqn{BD}) }
##' \item{\code{senderecondep}}{Challenger's economic dependence (dyadic trade / 
##' Challenger's GDP per capita)}
##' \item{\code{senderdemocracy}}{Challenger's Polity score}
##' \item{\code{contig}}{Contiguity between states}
##' \item{\code{ally}}{Are these state allied? (indicator)}
##' \item{\code{anticipatedsendercosts}}{The Challenger's 
##' anticipated costs for enacting sanctions}
##' \item{\code{anticipatedtargetcosts}}{The Target's 
##' anticipated costs for being sanctions}
##' \item{\code{targetecondep}}{Target's economic dependence (dyadic trade /
##'  Target's GDP per capita)}
##' \item{\code{lncaprat}}{Ratio of the Challenger's military capability to the Target's (logged)}
##' \item{\code{targetdemocracy}}{Target's Polity score}
##' \item{\code{PRhat}}{Estimated probability that the Target resists a challenge (fit using a random forest)}
##' \item{\code{PFhat}}{Estimated probability that the Challenger stands firm given that 
##' it challenged (fit using a random forest)}
##' \item{\code{PRnpl}}{Estimated probability that the Target resists a challenge (taken from the last stage of NPL iteration)}
##' \item{\code{PFnpl}}{Estimated probability that the Challenger stands firm given that 
##' it challenged  (taken from the last stage of NPL iteration)}
