optional MOE input for approximate_median #18

Open sastoudt opened 5 years ago

sastoudt commented 5 years ago

We may want an optional moe input field for approximate_median to handle the case when the n values are estimates themselves (e.g. outputs of approximate_sum). The approximate_median would then need a simulation aspect to account for the n values' uncertainty.

Proof of concept here.

This would be a step beyond what the Census Bureau does or recommends. It would be a great add, but we can also live without it
