ProportionalFitting.jl

Multidimensional iterative proportional fitting in Julia.

ProportionalFitting implements a multidimensional version of the factor estimation method for performing iterative proportional fitting (also called RAS algorithm, raking, matrix scaling)

Before version 0.3.0, this package was called ItPropFit.jl.
