Major change for this simulation

Now objective function is weighted by the inverse of the noise scale parameter.

This simulation has:

$$ \epsilon = 1 $$

and $\epsilon$ schedule,

| | State | County | Tract | [Total] | |--------------------------|-------|--------|-------|---------| | detailed | | | | .6 | | Own/rent | | | | .1 | | VoteAge x Hisp x CenRace | | | | .2 | | Age x Sex | | | | .1 | | [Total] | .1 | .3 | .6 | 1 |

For the following set of simulations we move outward in a nested structure from the no margins case. This follows Table 2 in the write up, starting in the top-right with only detailed-tract.

Nested Structure:

1. (0002 margins) non = just detailed at tract level
2. (0086 margins) tr1 = just own/rent margins
3. (0172 margins) tr2 = add (votingAge x hisp x cenRace) = (1, 1, 1)
4. (0256 margins) tr3 = add (votingAge x hisp x cenRace) = (2, 1, 1)
5. (0430 margins) tr4 = add (votingAge x hisp x cenRace) = (., 2, 1)
6. (0774 margins) tr5 = add (votingAge x hisp x cenRace) = (., ., 2)
7. (1290 margins) tr5 = add (votingAge x hisp x cenRace) = (., ., 3:4)
8. (1548 margins) tr6 = add all (votingAge x hisp x cenRace) AND all age x sex
9. (1800 margins) cnt = add all county
10. (1872 margins) all = all margins
