  <dc:title>Evidence-Based Bayesian Disaggregation of Aggregate Indices</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package BayesianDisaggregation version 0.2.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Disaggregates an observed aggregate price index into sectoral
    components with a Bayesian state-space model in which the aggregate enters as
    a genuine observation density rather than as a renormalization identity. A
    random-walk-with-drift transition in log space (with partial pooling on the
    drift and the innovation scale) and an estimable cross-sectional
    concentration produce posterior draws of the sectoral indices with credible
    intervals, suitable as multiple-imputation input for downstream dynamic
    models. The Hamiltonian Monte Carlo engine follows Stan (Carpenter et al.,
    2017) &lt;doi:10.18637/jss.v076.i01&gt;; model comparison uses Pareto Smoothed
    Importance Sampling Leave-One-Out cross-validation (Vehtari, Gelman and
    Gabry, 2017) &lt;doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9696-4&gt;. A closed-form linear-Gaussian
    Kalman/RTS smoother provides an exact, MCMC-free Bayesian alternative for the
    same aggregate evidence.</dc:description>
