## SPD -------------------------------------------------------------------------
#' Summed Probability Distributions
#'
#' Computes summed probability distributions (SPD) of radiocarbon dates.
#' @param object A [`CalibratedAges-class`] object.
#' @param normalize_date A [`logical`] scalar: should the total probability mass
#'  of the calibrated dates be normalised (to sum to unity within the time-span
#'  of analysis)?
#' @param normalize_spd A [`logical`] scalar: should the total probability mass
#'  of the SPD be normalised (to sum to unity)?
#' @param ... Currently not used.
#' @details
#'  Summed probability distributions (SPD) are not statistically valid
#'  estimators of the calendar age of a potential future sample. They should not
#'  be used in any dates-as-data approach to provide a population proxy.
#' @return
#'  A [`CalibratedSPD-class`] object.
