calibrateByRegion

Calibrate/normalize the point level totals so their sum matches the
regional totals. Technically, the totals can be at any level smaller
than the region level specified.

Provides methods for spatial and spatio-temporal smoothing of demographic and health indicators using survey data, with particular focus on estimating and projecting under-five mortality rates, described in Mercer et al. (2015) <doi:10.1214/15-AOAS872>, Li et al. (2019) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0210645>, Wu et al. (DHS Spatial Analysis Reports No. 21, 2021), and Li et al. (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2007.05117>.
