SparseMSE - 'Multiple Systems Estimation for Sparse Capture Data'
Implements the routines and algorithms developed and
analysed in "Multiple Systems Estimation for Sparse Capture
Data: Inferential Challenges when there are Non-Overlapping
Lists" Chan, L, Silverman, B. W., Vincent, K (2019)
<https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01621459.2019.1708748>
and in "Bootstrapping multiple systems estimates to account for
model selection" Silverman, B. W., Chan, L, Vincent, K
(2023)<https://doi.org/10.1007/s11222-023-10346-9>. This
package explicitly handles situations where there are pairs of
lists which have no observed individuals in common. It deals
correctly with parameters whose estimated values can be
considered as being negative infinity. It also addresses other
possible issues of non-existence and non-identifiability of
maximum likelihood estimates.
