9Description: eco is a publicly available R package that implements the
10        Bayesian and likelihood methods proposed in Imai, Lu, and
11        Strauss (2008) for ecological inference in $2 \times 2$ tables
12        as well as the method of bounds introduced by Duncan and Davis
13        (1953).  The package fits both parametric and nonparametric
14        models using either the Expectation-Maximization algorithms
15        (for likelihood models) or the Markov chain Monte Carlo
16        algorithms (for Bayesian models).  For all models, the
17        individual-level data can be directly incorporated into the
18        estimation whenever such data are available.  Along with
19        in-sample and out-of-sample predictions, the package also
20        provides a functionality which allows one to quantify the
21        effect of data aggregation on parameter estimation and
22        hypothesis testing under the parametric likelihood models.
