R Functions for Respondent-Driven Sampling
This package provides functionality for carrying out
estimation with data collected using Respondent-Driven
Sampling.  Current functionality is extremely limited.

This package 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
Sampler estimator.
