RDS (version 0.9-10)

Respondent-Driven Sampling

Description

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) , Gile and Handcock (2015) and Gile, Beaudry, Handcock and Ott (2018) .

Functions in RDS (0.9-10)

A Simulated RDS Data Set with extreme seed dependency

export.rds.interval.estimate

Convert the output of print.rds.interval.estimate from a character data.frame to a numeric matrix

A Simulated RDS Data Set

get.number.of.recruits

Calculates the number of (direct) recuits for each respondent.

Returns the network size of each subject (i.e. their degree).

count.transitions

Counts the number or recruiter->recruitee transitions between different levels of the grouping variable.

Get recruiter id

Calculates the root seed id for each node of the recruitement tree.

assert.valid.rds.data.frame

Does various checks and throws errors if x is not a valid rds.data.frame

convergence.plot

Convergence Plots

cumulative.estimate

Calculates estimates at each successive wave of the sampling process

get.population.size

Returns the population size associated with the data.

differential.activity.estimates

Differential Activity between groups

Get the subject id

Get Horvitz-Thompson estimator assuming inclusion probability proportional to the inverse of network.var (i.e. degree).

Imputes missing degree values

A Simulated RDS Data Set with no seed dependency

impute.visibility

Estimates each person's personal visibility based on their self-reported degree and the number of their (direct) recruits. It uses the time the person was recruited as a factor in determining the number of recruits they produce.

Calculates the depth of the recruitment tree (i.e. the recruitment wave) at each node.

A Simulated RDS Data Set

control.rds.estimates

Auxiliary for Controlling RDS.bootstrap.intervals

get.recruitment.time

Returns the recruitment time for each subject

homophily configuration graph weights

[<-.rds.data.frame

get.stationary.distribution

Markov chain statistionary distribution

Gets the recruiter id associated with the seeds

gile.ss.weights

Weights using Giles SS estimator

hcg.replicate.weights

HCG parametric bootstrap replicate weights

has.recruitment.time

impute.visibility_mle

Estimates each person's personal visibility based on their self-reported degree and the number of their (direct) recruits. It uses the time the person was recruited as a factor in determining the number of recruits they produce.

is.rds.interval.estimate.list
