forgnlit30c

This data set contains, on a county level, the proportion of
  white residents ten years and older who are foreign born, and
  the proportion of those residents who are literate.  Data come from
  the 1930 census and were first analyzed by Robinson (1950). Counties
  with fewer than 100 foreign born residents are dropped.

eco is a publicly available R package that implements the
  Bayesian and likelihood methods proposed in Imai, Lu, and Strauss 
  (2008) for ecological inference in $2 \times 2$ tables as
  well as the method of bounds introduced by Duncan and Davis (1953). 
  The package fits both parametric and nonparametric models using 
  either the Expectation-Maximization algorithms (for likelihood
  models) or the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms (for Bayesian 
  models).  For all models, the individual-level data can be directly 
  incorporated into the estimation whenever such data are available. 
  Along with in-sample and out-of-sample predictions, the package also 
  provides a functionality which allows one to quantify the effect of data
  aggregation on parameter estimation and hypothesis testing under the
  parametric likelihood models.
