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(pointTotals, pointRegions, regions, regionTotals)

Arguments

pointTotals	Vector of point level totals that will be calibrated/normalized
pointRegions	Vector of regions associated with each point
regions	Vector of region names
regionTotals	Vector of desired region level totals associated with 'regions'

Value

A vector of same length as pointTotals and pointRegions 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

pointTotals = c(1, 1, 1, 2)
pointRegions = c("a", "a", "b", "b")
regionTotals = c(10, 20)
regions = c("a", "b")
calibrateByRegion(pointTotals, pointRegions, regions, regionTotals)
