R help - Jan 2003 - iterative proportional fitting in R?

Hi,

We have some sample data from the US census, and we know the marginal
totals for the population.  We need to make the population estimates add
up to the correct sums.

I have two questions:

Is there some package in R which does this adjustment, by any means?

Is there some more modern reference for this problem than Deming's 1943
monograph, ``Statistical Adjustment of Data''?


If you want to reply offlist, please don't use the address that this was
sent from; you can reach me at nels_tomlinson at labor.state.ak.us

Thanks,
Nels

I guess you could do it via loglinear model:

Look at ?loglin in base package as well as ?loglm in MASS package
for formula interface to loglin().


I hope that this helps.
