RDS

Respondent-driven sampling (RDS), combines "snowball sampling" with a mathematical model that weights the sample to compensate for the fact that the sample was collected in a non-random way. We are providing a small datasets with the RDS numbers in order for each user to construct their own weights. You will also find a Do File with a sample programing for this.
