Using rank_sale(), make_history(), and est_part()

library(dplyr)
library(salic)

# load data
data(lic, sale)

# build license history
history <- lic %>% 
    filter(type %in% c("fish", "combo")) %>% 
    inner_join(sale, by = "lic_id") %>% 
    rank_sale() %>% 
    make_history(yrs = 2008:2018)

# count total participants
est_part(history)
