title: 'statMatchLCM: Statistical Matching Using Latent Class Models'
version: '1.2'
abstract: Tools for statistical matching based on latent class models. The package
  implements statistical matching procedures based on latent class models. It allows
  researchers to perform data integration when no unique identifiers are available
  by modeling the joint distribution of variables through latent categorical structures.
  The package supports estimation of latent class models, probabilistic matching between
  donor and recipient data sets, and generation of synthetic linked data under uncertainty.
  It is particularly useful in survey research and data fusion applications where
  combining information from multiple sources is required while preserving statistical
  properties and accounting for measurement error and missing data mechanisms.
