seine: Semiparametric Ecological Inference
Efficient and user-friendly routines for modern ecological inference. Implements the methods described in McCartan & Kuriwaki (2025+) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2509.20194>, which generalize ecological regression as introduced by Goodman (1953) <doi:10.2307/2088121>. Includes routines for preprocessing, synthetic data generation, double/debiased machine learning (DML) estimation, partial identification bounds, and sensitivity analysis.
