  <dc:title>Distribution Comparison Through Density Ratio Estimation</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package densityratio version 0.2.3</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Fast, flexible and user-friendly tools for distribution comparison
  through direct density ratio estimation. The estimated density ratio can be 
  used for covariate shift adjustment, outlier-detection, change-point detection,
  classification and evaluation of synthetic data quality. The package implements
  multiple non-parametric estimation techniques (unconstrained least-squares
  importance fitting, ulsif(), Kullback-Leibler importance estimation procedure,
  kliep(), spectral density ratio estimation, spectral(), kernel mean matching,
  kmm(), and least-squares hetero-distributional subspace search, lhss()).
  with automatic tuning of hyperparameters. Helper functions are available for
  two-sample testing and visualizing the density ratios. For an overview on 
  density ratio estimation, see Sugiyama et al. (2012) &lt;doi:10.1017/CBO9781139035613&gt;
  for a general overview, and the help files for references on the specific 
  estimation techniques.</dc:description>
