construct.vgam

Nonlinear degrees of freedom.  See VGAM
  documentation for more on what this means.

constr.cols

A transformed log-linear design
  matrix.  The submatrix indicated by <code>constr.cols</code> is
  the desired argument to the VGAM command to impose the
  corresponding log-linear model on the data.

constraints

A CRC dataset in standard form (i.e., as
  output of <code>format.data</code>)

A wrapper function to fit a CRC model using the vgam
command in the VGAM package.

Applies local log-linear capture-recapture models (LLLMs) a for
    closed populations, as described in the ongoing doctoral thesis work of
    Zachary Kurtz in the department of statistics at Carnegie Mellon
    University.  The method is relevant when there are 3-4 capture occasions,
    with auxiliary covariates available for all capture occasions.  As part of
    estimating the number of missing population units, the method estimates the
    "rate of missingness" as it varies over the covariate space.  In addition,
    user-friendly functions are provided to recreate (approximately) the method
    of Zwane and Van der Heijden (2004), which applied the VGAM package in a
    way that is closely related to LLLMs.
