estimate.rds2: Same as estimate.rds, but for a fixed theta.

In rds2: Population size and degree distribution estimation in respondent driven sampling.

Description

Same as estimate.rds, but for a fixed theta.

Usage

  estimate.rds2(data, Sij, init, const, arc = FALSE,
    maxit = 10000, theta)

Arguments

data	An integer vector of the degrees of each individual sampled.
Sij	An integer matrix of the counts of individuals with rank j at sampling period t. Row names correspond to the degrees.
init	Optional initialization values.
const	Control the concentration of the mapping of the theta parameter from the contstrained domain to the real line.
arc	Should the degrees in the snowball be taken in account (TRUE) or just the size of the snowball (FALSE). Defaults to FALSE.
maxit	Number of maximal optimization iterations.
theta	Value of theta parameter. Assumed known.

Value
