  <dc:title>Ecological Inference via Information Theory</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package eiIT version 0.0.1-1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Estimates RxC transfer matrices from aggregated marginal data using
             a two-stage (GME+IPF) information-theoretic approach within a two-step 
             (global+local) estimation procedure. The resulting matrices are consistent 
             with observed row and column marginals across collections of subtables 
             (e.g. precincts, polling stations, or districts).
