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.

R interface to DSDP semidefinite programming library. The DSDP software is a free open source implementation of an interior-point method for semidefinite programming. It provides primal and dual solutions, exploits low-rank structure and sparsity in the data, and has relatively low memory requirements for an interior-point method.

Helper functions to accompany the Blair, Coppock, and Humphreys (2022) "Research Design in the Social Sciences: Declaration, Diagnosis, and Redesign" <https://book.declaredesign.org>. 'rdss' includes datasets, helper functions, and plotting components to enable use and replication of the book.

Provides functionality for carrying out sample size estimation and power calculation in Respondent-Driven Sampling.

A tree bootstrap method for estimating uncertainty in respondent-driven samples (RDS). Quantiles are estimated by multilevel resampling in such a way that preserves the dependencies of and accounts for the high variability of the RDS process.

We provide a toolbox to fit univariate and multivariate linear mixed models via data transforming augmentation. Users can also fit these models via typical data augmentation for a comparison. It returns either maximum likelihood estimates of unknown model parameters (hyper-parameters) via an EM algorithm or posterior samples of those parameters via MCMC. Also see Tak et al. (2019) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2019.1704295>.

Defines functions that can be used to collect provenance as
  an 'R' script executes or during a console session. The output is a text 
  file in 'PROV-JSON' format.
