  <dc:title>Automatic Optimal Stratification for Survey Sampling</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package AutoStrataK version 0.1.4</dc:title>
  <dc:description>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).</dc:description>
