#' through three different modules: "Green Book", "Model-Assisted", and
#' "Small Area".
#' 
#' @return 
#' List object containing estimates produced. If GB or PB estimation, output is
#' directly from FIESTAutils, while outputs for MA or SA will be list objects
#' from packages such as `mase`, `sae`, `hbsae`, or `JoSAE`.

#' @details
#' These functions can carry out estimation with data from a variety of domains, 
#' but are designed for USFS FIA data.
