  1. 1 Confidence intervals are calculated for a fixed social network size
  2. 2 The estimated size of sub-populations is calculated based on the percentage of acquaintances of a specific age/gender within the corresponding group
  3. 3 Used as an indirect estimate of the number of female sexual partners of MSM.
