rates.by.category

The output of <code>lllcrc</code> or <code>vgam.crc</code>

A vector of variable names, where the names are in
the form "x.dis...." as in the output of <code>format.data</code>.  For example,
if sex is a variable, two columns <code>x.dis.1.M</code> and <code>x.dis.1.F</code> may
be included in the table unless one of them is specified as a reference
level

reference.levels


A wrapper for <code>summarize.by.factors</code>.  A table is generated to display
the estimated average rate of missingness for every point in the space of
categorical covariates.  Reference levels may be selected for each category
to reduce the size of the table


Applies local log-linear capture-recapture models (LLLMs) for
closed populations, as described in the doctoral thesis of Zachary Kurtz.
The method is relevant when there are 3-5 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.
