title: 'AutoStrataK: Automatic Optimal Stratification for Survey Sampling'
version: 0.1.4
abstract: Provides tools for the automatic stratification of survey populations using
  clustering and optimization techniques. The package assists researchers and survey
  practitioners in constructing homogeneous strata to improve the efficiency and precision
  of survey estimates. Functions are provided for generating strata, evaluating stratification
  quality, summarizing stratified populations, and visualizing stratification results.
  These tools support the design and implementation of efficient survey sampling strategies.
  The package utilizes standard statistical methods from survey sampling, clustering,
  and optimization for automatic stratification. Methods are described in Cochran
  (1977, ISBN:9780471162405) and Lohr (2021, ISBN:9780367354556).
