The R software package ergm.tapered: Provides a set of terms and functions implementing Tapered exponential-family random graph models (ERGMs). Tapered ERGMs are a modification of ERGMs that reduce the effects of phase transitions, and with properly chosen hyper-parameters, provably removes all multiphase behavior.
The R software package rpm: that estimates revealed preferences based on observed bipartite matchings as detailed in Goyal, Handcock, Jackson, Rendall and Yeung (2023). Many problems in demography require models for partnership formation that separate latent preferences for partners from the availability of partners.
The R software package sspse: that implements successive sampling population size estimation (SS-PSE). SS-PSE is used to estimate the size of hidden populations using respondent-driven sampling (RDS) data. The package can implement SS-PSE, visibility SS-PSE, and capture-recapture SS-PSE.
The R software package RDS: that carries 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 CRAN manual is very detailed.
RDS Analyst is a software package for the analysis of Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) data that implements recent advances in statistical methods. RDS Analyst has an easy-to-use graphical user interface to the powerful and sophisticated capabilities of the computer package R.
