Description: Estimates the probability matrix for the R×C Ecological
        Inference problem using the Expectation-Maximization Algorithm
        with four approximation methods for the E-Step, and an exact
        method as well. It also provides a bootstrap function to
        estimate the standard deviation of the estimated probabilities.
        In addition, it has functions that aggregate rows optimally to
        have more reliable estimates in cases of having few data
        points. For comparing the probability estimates of two groups,
        a Wald test routine is implemented. The library has data from
        the first round of the Chilean Presidential Election 2021 and
        can also generate synthetic election data. Methods described in
