title: 'summary2joint: Joint Distribution Estimation from Marginal Study Summaries'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Estimates latent Gaussian joint distributions for normal continuous, binary,
  and ordinal variables using marginal summaries from independent studies of a common
  population. Fits a pairwise Gaussian working criterion using exact summary moments,
  with study-level sandwich uncertainty. Supports prespecified independent groups,
  joint event probabilities, and synthetic patient generation. Identification requires
  repeated joint reporting of variable pairs; heterogeneous populations, rare categories,
  and small study collections require caution.
