Remove LME from production and area harvested imputation #19

Closed mkao006 closed 8 years ago

mkao006 commented 8 years ago

The use of LME in production and area harvested has minimal benefits. The reason is because the production and area harvested and differ significant across region and country. Thus the within group correlation is weak, and offers little improvement to the imputation

Further, it significantly increases the computation as the LME is computationally to estimate.

Removing it should significantly speed up the modules.

This is actually implemented in the production module. Moved this issue
