Description: Enables small area estimation (SAE) of health and
demographic indicators in low- and middle-income countries
(LMICs). It powers an R 'shiny' application for generating
subnational estimates and prevalence maps of 150+ binary
indicators from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). It builds
on the SAE analysis workflow from the 'surveyPrev' package. For
