  <dc:title>R package scpi version 4.0.1</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: CausalInference (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=CausalInference)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Implementation of prediction and inference procedures for Synthetic Control methods using least square, lasso, ridge, or simplex-type constraints. Uncertainty is quantified with prediction intervals as developed in Cattaneo, Feng, and Titiunik (2021) &lt;doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1979561&gt; for a single treated unit and in Cattaneo, Feng, Palomba, and Titiunik (2027) &lt;doi:10.1162/rest_a_01588&gt; for multiple treated units and staggered adoption. More details about the software implementation can be found in Cattaneo, Feng, Palomba, and Titiunik (2025) &lt;doi:10.18637/jss.v113.i01&gt;.</dc:description>
