Disaggregate MSI #7

Open drnickisaac opened 6 years ago

The method currently known as MSI actually has two parts:

  1. Monte Carlo resampling (after correcting for late arrival etc)
  2. Smoothing These should be separate functions.

I'll look to see what needs to be done

Okay, so the msi code is a straight up wrapper around the original code by Statistics Netherlands, with a few bells and whistles. Their code is pretty big (msi_tool.R).

Smoothing starts at L406. If I spent some time I could break their script in two. I just wonder whether this is a feature that is going to be useful for others?

I still question why this is needed
