Description: Implements the Dyad Ratios algorithm for estimating latent
        variables from time-series survey data. The algorithm estimates
        a latent mood dimension (or two dimensions) from a set of issue
        opinion series. Supports annual, quarterly, monthly, and daily
        aggregation intervals, optional exponential smoothing, and up
        to two latent dimensions. Input data can be provided as a data
        frame or read from delimited text files. Based on Stimson's
        'MCalc' C++ program. See Stimson (2018)
