Calibrate the point level totals so their sum matches the regional totals

Description

Calibrate/normalize the point level totals so their sum matches the regional totals. Technically, the totals can be at any level smaller than the region level specified.

Usage

calibrateByRegion(point.totals, point.regions, regions, region.totals)

Arguments

point.totals	Vector of point level totals that will be calibrated/normalized
point.regions	Vector of regions associated with each point
regions	Vector of region names
region.totals	Vector of desired region level totals associated with regions

Details

Value

A vector of same length as point.totals and point.regions containing the calibrated/normalized point totals that sum to the correct regional totals

Vector of updated point level totals, calibrated to match region totals

Examples

point.totals = c(1, 1, 1, 2)
point.regions = c("a", "a", "b", "b")
region.totals = c(10, 20)
regions = c("a", "b")
calibrateByRegion(point.totals, point.regions, regions, region.totals)
