taperedErnmLikelihood

This function approximates the likelihood around a sample
generated at parameters theta0. The likelihood is only
"trusted" within a vicinity of theta0. The size of this
vicinity is controlled by requiring a minimum effective
sample size (minESS) at theta + (theta - tehta0) * damping.

Estimation of fully and partially observed Exponential-Family Random Network Models (ERNM). Exponential-family Random Graph Models (ERGM) and Gibbs Fields are special cases of ERNMs and can also be estimated with the package.
