abstract: 'Applies a frozen multinomial model (version ''v1.5'') that predicts each
  respondent''s relative income position within their country and survey year -- the
  probabilities of belonging to the bottom 50 percent, the middle 40 percent and the
  top 10 percent -- to ''Latinobarometro'' microdata that the user downloads from
  the official source. The model was trained on national household surveys and validated
  against ''LAPOP AmericasBarometer'' data for 15 Latin American countries. It uses
  five predictors (sex, age, education, car ownership, washing machine ownership)
  plus a country effect, and the package harmonizes them across waves 1995-2024 through
  a manually curated crosswalk. The package ships only model parameters and variable-name
  metadata: it contains no survey microdata and no statistics computed from it. Probabilities
  are meant as continuous weights for aggregate analysis, not for classifying individuals.'
