  <dc:title>Normalize sample weights using marginal total population
weights</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Raking a survey dataset entails re-weighting a sample by
making the sample marginal totals agree with the population
marginal totals for two survey response variables. Raking is a
robust technique that is often useful for dealing with
nonresponse. The &apos;rake&apos; package streamlines the process of
Raking by creating the special &apos;rake&apos; class, which is
essentially a summary of the sample weights.</dc:description>
