		Automatic Optimal Stratification for Survey Sampling // 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).
