  <dc:title>Dyad Ratios Algorithm for Latent Variable Estimation</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package DyadRatios version 2.1</dc:title>
  <dc: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) &lt;doi:10.1177/0759106318761614&gt; for more details. </dc:description>
