		Ecological Inference via Information Theory // Estimates RxC
		transfer matrices from aggregated marginal data using a two-
		stage (GME+IPF) information-theoretic approach within a two-
		step (global+local) estimation procedure. The resulting
		matrices are consistent with observed row and column marginals
		across collections of subtables (e.g. precincts, polling
		stations, or districts). References: Golan, A., Judge, G.,
