formatdata

The data frame of CRC data, such as the output
  of the simulation function <code>poptop</code>.

A character string indicating which column of
  <code>x</code> contains the capture patterns.

A character vector of variable names for
  continuous variables.

cont.vars

A character vector of variable names
  for categorical variables.

categ.vars

Put a CRC dataset into a standard form that is understood
by functions like <code>lllcrc</code>.

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.
