  <dc:title>Entropy reweighting to create balanced samples</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Package implements entropy balancing, a data preprocessing
procedure that allows users to reweight a dataset such that the
covariate distributions in the reweighted data satisfy a set of
user specified moment conditions. This can be useful to create
balanced samples in observational studies with a binary
treatment where the control group data can be reweighted to
match the covariate moments in the treatment group. Entropy
balancing can also be used to reweight a survey sample to known
characteristics from a target population. This package is
currently in alpha phase (feedback is appreciated).</dc:description>
