Description: Implements the Bayesian and likelihood methods proposed in
        Imai, Lu, and Strauss (2008 <doi:10.1093/pan/mpm017>) and (2011
        <doi:10.18637/jss.v042.i05>) for ecological inference in 2 by 2
        tables as well as the method of bounds introduced by Duncan and
        Davis (1953).  The package fits both parametric and
        nonparametric models using either the Expectation-Maximization
        algorithms (for likelihood models) or the Markov chain Monte
        Carlo algorithms (for Bayesian models).  For all models, the
        individual-level data can be directly incorporated into the
        estimation whenever such data are available. Along with
        in-sample and out-of-sample predictions, the package also
        provides a functionality which allows one to quantify the
        effect of data aggregation on parameter estimation and
        hypothesis testing under the parametric likelihood models.
