		Statistical Matching Using Latent Class Models // Tools for
		statistical matching based on latent class models. The package
		implements statistical matching procedures based on latent
		class models. It allows researchers to perform data integration
		when no unique identifiers are available by modeling the joint
		distribution of variables through latent categorical
		structures. The package supports estimation of latent class
		models, probabilistic matching between donor and recipient data
		sets, and generation of synthetic linked data under
		uncertainty. It is particularly useful in survey research and
		data fusion applications where combining information from
		multiple sources is required while preserving statistical
		properties and accounting for measurement error and missing
		data mechanisms.
