RDS - Respondent-Driven Sampling

Provides functionality for carrying out estimation with data collected using Respondent-Driven Sampling. This includes Heckathorn's RDS-I and RDS-II estimators as well as Gile's Sequential Sampling estimator. The package is part of the "RDS Analyst" suite of packages for the analysis of respondent-driven sampling data. See Gile and Handcock (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9531.2010.01223.x>, Gile and Handcock (2015) <doi:10.1111/rssa.12091> and Gile, Beaudry, Handcock and Ott (2018) <doi:10.1146/annurev-statistics-031017-100704>.

rpm - Modeling of Revealed Preferences Matchings

Statistical estimation of revealed preference models from data collected on bipartite matchings. The models are for matchings within a bipartite population where individuals have utility for people based on known and unknown characteristics. People can form a partnership or remain unpartnered. The model represents both the availability of potential partners of different types and preferences of individuals for such people. The software estimates preference parameters based on sample survey data on partnerships and population composition. The simulation of matchings and goodness-of-fit are considered. See Goyal, Handcock, Jackson, Rendall and Yeung (2022) <doi:10.1093/jrsssa/qnad031>.
