differential.activity.estimates(
  rds.data,
  outcome.variable,
  weight.type = "Gile's SS",
  N = NULL,
  subset = NULL,
  ...
)

`rds.data`	An rds.data.frame object
`outcome.variable`	A character string of column names representing categorical variables.
`weight.type`	A string giving the type of estimator to use. The options are `"Gile's SS"`, `"RDS-I"`, `"RDS-II"`, `"RDS-I/DS"`, and `"Arithemic Mean"`. It defaults to `"Gile's SS"`.
`N`	The population size.
`subset`	An expression defining a subset of rds.data.
`...`	Additional parameters passed to compute.weights.

This function estimates the ratio of the average degree of one population group divided by the average degree of those in another population group.
