cumulative.estimate

Calculates estimates at each successive wave of the sampling process

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.
