Post-stratification weight normalisation

Description

Normalises participant weights within groups so that they sum to the number of participants in each group. Optionally truncates extreme weights to a threshold and re-normalises.

Usage

normalise_weights(participants, by = "age.group", threshold = NULL)

Arguments

`participants`	participant data.table with a `weight` column
`by`	character; column name(s) to group by (default "age.group")
`threshold`	numeric; if provided, weights above this value are capped and the weights are re-normalised (default NULL)
