title: 'heaping: Correction of Heaping on Individual Level'
version: 0.1.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.heaping
abstract: Provides methods for correcting heaping (digit preference) in survey data
  at the individual record level. Age heaping, where respondents disproportionately
  report ages ending in 0 or 5, is a common phenomenon that can distort demographic
  analyses. Unlike traditional smoothing methods that only correct aggregated statistics,
  this package corrects individual values by replacing a calculated proportion of
  heaped observations with draws from fitted truncated distributions (log-normal,
  normal, or uniform). Supports 5-year and 10-year heaping patterns, single heap correction,
  and optional model-based adjustment to preserve covariate relationships.
